Confirmation
Our parish community rejoices with you as you become fully initiated into the faith community.
What are my next steps?
1. Register
ACC Confirmation Preparation begins in 10th Grade and Candidates are Confirmed in Fall of 11th Grade.
Immediate preparation begins with a family orientation meeting in August and preparation session will begin in Janaury. Candidates are expected to participate in faith formation through the parish or Catholic Schools prior to 10th Grade. 10th Graders who have not participated faith formation may be asked to attend additional sessions before entering Confirmation Preparation
2. Meet
Once registered, information regarding an orientation meeting will be sent out.
Both a parent or guardian and youth are expected to attend the meeting to receive all the information necessary for the year.
3. Study
In addition to attending faith formation programming, students will meet with a sponsor and complete study materials together.
Toward the end of the year, attend one interactive learning center with a parent or guardian.
4. Retreat
Prior to receiving the Sacrament, students are expected to attend a retreat with their Confirmation classmates.
The date of the retreat will be announced at orientation.
We look forward to journeying with you toward full initiation!
