1. When is Confirmation Mass?
Confirmation Mass will be held on Sunday, May 6th at the 5:00pm Mass.  Confirmation Mass Rehearsal is scheduled for Saturday, May 5th at 10:00am in Ponzini.  This will be required for both students and sponsors.

2. How long is the confirmation program?
Each person to be confirmed must be enrolled in a religious education program at least one year PRIOR to beginning Confirmation preparation and must have maintained an 80% attendance record for that year and for the second year of sacrament preparation. At minimum, preparation for Confirmation is 2 years provided all other requirements have been met.

3. What classes do students need to attend?
Students entering the 10th grade or higher preparing for Confirmation must attend all Sunday confirmation sacramental preparation in conjunction with their Faith Formation classes on Saturdays. Weekly Sunday Mass attendance is also expected.

4.  How does one know if they are ready to receive the sacrament of Confirmation?
Confirmation is a major step towards adult commitment to Jesus Christ.  This must be a personal decision on the part of the candidate to be confirmed.  Candidates should show a willingness to live out their faith in the world.  The faithful fulfillment of the responsibility to attend weekly Mass will be taken into consideration when determining if your child is ready for the sacrament.
