- As Catholics, we are called, and Chosen, by God to affirm our faith in the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation completes our "Initiation" into the Catholic Church. Preparation is a two year process that begins in 9th grade and continues through 10th grade. It includes small group meetings, weekly celebration of the Eucharist, service to others, and spending time with God in prayer. Additionally, candidates attend two Confirmation Retreats: one during the first year of preparation, and a second during the second year of preparation.
  
  It is our desire that our youth in preparation for Confirmation grow to know, love and serve our wonderful and awesome God.
