SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION 2025

"CONFIRMATION SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION”

Sacramental preparation for Confirmation is for all 9th graders and older who have already received First Holy Communion. All St Joseph parish high school students requesting to be confirmed, regardless of school affiliation, should register and attend Faith Formation to celebrate Confirmation in the Spring of 2026. Confirmation preparation students will be using “Symbolon Teens” from the Augustine Institute as part of a robust catechism and involves more than just memorization of facts; it fosters a personal encounter with Christ and a commitment to living out one’s faith in our faith community.

The calendar of classes and family events, the Requirements for Confirmation Checklist 2025-2026, and related documents are available on our website. The checklist also contains links to the documents you might need.
