Confirmation

          Youth
Junior high teens attending the religious education program or St. Brendan School are prepared during their seventh and eighth grade year for the Sacrament of Confirmation. High school teens who need to be prepared for the Sacrament of Confirmation attend a twelve week course offered during the catechetical year. In addition to the course work, eighth grade and high school teens need to fulfill additional requirements. Parents and teens need to attend one meeting in the fall for catechesis on the Sacrament of Confirmation. Every teen must attend a Confirmation retreat, complete 15 service hours, and write a paper describing the impact of their service on the community and themselves.

Two Solemn Celebrations of the Sacrament of Confirmation are celebrated each year during the spring. Candidates and their parents are given the opportunity to request a specific time and all efforts are made to accommodate one's preference.
