Religious Education - Confirmation Classes

Confirmation Classes (Grades 9 & up) meet Tuesday & Wednesday 7:00 - 8:30 PM
 Parent Requirements |  Confirmation Class Schedule | Candidate Requirements

 

Parent Requirements:

1. You and your Confirmation candidate (and hopefully the rest of the family) must commit to attending Mass every week. If this has not been your family's practice in the past, I can assure you that you will notice the benefits by the time Confirmation comes around.

 

2. Assist your child in attending all class sessions and other required events. Class and pertinent dates are listed on the schedule given. Other notices will not be given, so please put these dates in your calendar now.

 

3. Commit to pray for your child every day, to assist in his or her spiritual development. This may not be any easy time for your candidates, and they all will need the strength and support your prayers will give.

 

4. Promote an open communication with your child regarding his or her spiritual life. Our spirituality is an integral part of ourselves which is easily ignored in today's hectic life. More is learned every day about the impact of our spiritual nature on every other aspect of our lives, from morals and ethics to how quickly we heal. Your child may be less aware of this part of him or herself, so be prepared to initiate the communication.

 

5. Attend specific liturgical celebrations with your child.

 

6. When this time of preparation is over, you must let your child decide whether or not to be confirmed. This may be the most important decision your child has to make regarding his own life, and should be made after much reflection and discussion with you. As a parent, you can require your child to participate in classes, service and retreats; these all lead to making an informed choice. Being confirmed is a major step, when the candidate makes all the promises that you made for him at Baptism and chooses to live as a disciple of Christ. It is a life choice that only the candidate can make.
