Confirmation preparation is a two year formation in which 7th and 8th graders explore their relationship with Christ, their Catholic Faith, and what it means to be a Confirmed Catholic and disciple of Christ. The Confirmandi (those preparing for Confirmation) are asked to complete a number of formation experiences to guide them in their spirituality, in their participation in their parish community, and in their service of others.
