"To form disciples who joyfully live out the mission of Jesus Christ"
Would you or your child like to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation? We would be delighted to accompany you and your family on their journey through this process.
Children ages 13 and older are invited to enroll in our Confirmation Preparation program. If you're an adult seeking this Sacrament, please ask about our RCIA program. Although you or your child may meet the minimum age requirements, we encourage you to consider the following - Is this the right time for you and your family to prepare for the Sacrament? Teens - Are you willing to accept the responsilibility of preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation? If yes, please see below for your next steps.
WELCOME TO OUR PREPARATION FOR CONFIRMATION
Based on the success of our small groups last year, we will be continuing to develop all our middle and high school ministry into small group discipleship groups. Once registration is complete, teens will be placed in small groups with two(2) group leaders and/or mentors. It is our hope that these small groups and mentors will grow in discipleship, not only for the length of formation but beyond. We look forward to seeing life long bonds form out of their shared desire to grow closer to God.
1) Once small groups are formed we will hold orientation meetings to explain the way small group dsicipleship works and everyone's role in the process.
2) Small groups will be led by two background checked and VIRTUS trained cleared adults. Locations for meetings will vary and may be held off site.
3) Throughout the year, small groups will be invited to get together with other small groups - planned social activities, community service projects and praise and worship events. We hope you are able to take advantage of these opportunities as they arise.
