The Journey toward Confirmation begins in February of 6th Grade Year, culminating in reception of the Sacrament in November of 8th Grade year. This provides opportunity for our youth to continue to experience and grow in relationship with Jesus, and begin to live as missionary disciples. If youth are uncertain as to whether or not they want to receive the Sacrament, this length of time serves as a helpful discernment process. Youth can always choose not to receive the Sacrament after going through all or part of the journey.

It’s important to remember that a Sacrament is a free gift from God. It is not something we earn. Nor is Sacramental Prep a checklist to complete. Sacraments are an encounter with God where He gives us His grace (His life within us), which helps us to grow in holiness. Through the preparation process we learn new ways to “stir into flame the gift of God” (2 Timothy 1: 6) by which the grace we receive will bear greater fruit in our lives.
