Confirmation Preparation Registration
In order to prepare our programs for the coming year, we will need each young person to be enrolled in our St. Thomas Faith Formation program. For Confirmation Preparation this includes automatic enrollment in our Youth Ministry program which facilitates our Works of Mercy (H.O.P.E) component.
The dynamics of our Faith Formation programs are being prayfully considered and constructed based on developing diocesean and NYS guidelines. We will share program details as soon as we are able.
Confirmation preperation for Catholic School youth will begin in early 2022. Updates on program specifics will be provided over the next few months. -
Confirmation Preparation
Young people preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation are to have been enrolled in our MS/HS Faith Formation Program at a minimum for the last 2 years. Sacramental Preparation for Confirmation builds on the MS/HS Faith Formation Program and includes a series of in-class discussion sessions, participation in prayer opportunites, attendance at a Confirmation retreat, and service through our St. Thomas Faith Formation and Youth Ministry program, known as H.O.P.E Hours.
Confirmation for young people typically takes place in the Spring of 10th grade.
Please review the 7 tips to follow before you receive the sacrament of Confirmation to begin your Sacramental preparation.
Confirmation is a joyful time when, following the centuries-old tradition of our faith, the Bishop personally confirms the presence of the divine grace in a follower since his or her Baptism.
