Confirmation is so much more than a class to check off—it is a personal invitation for middle schoolers to discover their faith and encounter the Holy Spirit. This year, our parish is offering an engaging, relational program designed specifically for young teens to ask big questions, build deep friendships, and grow in prayer. Rather than traditional lectures, small groups will gather for open conversations, dynamic videos, and scripture study in a warm, welcoming space. We are excited to walk alongside your family as your middle schooler takes this meaningful step in their Catholic journey.
We will be using the Confirmation Toolkit from YDisciple and Alpha Catholic.
