Confirmation Journey – an opportunity to Foster an Encounter with Christ
“The theology of Confirmation informs us that the Sacrament is about God choosing us. But since we have free will, we need to respond and cooperate as Mary and the saints did in order for God to do his best work through us.  It is our hope that this program will not only prepare young Catholics for the Sacrament of Confirmation in a dynamic way, but also teach and inspire them and their parents to respond and cooperate with God’s grace in all the circumstance of their daily lives, long after their Confirmation has passed.”  Matthew Kelly

*Calendar of scheduled family sessions are subject to change. If not able to gather in person, we will offer the sessions via Zoom meetings on the same scheduled days.  Please see page 5 of the 2021 -2022 Parent/Student Handbook for more details.
