Faith Formation
Confirmation lessons are twice a month starting in the Fall and running all the way through May. These sessions will last from 6:30pm-8:00pm on Wednesday nights.
This is a two year long program, and typically starts in 7th grade, however it is never too late to receive the sacrament!
If your child will be receiving Confirmation this year, there are some additional meeting times and events, including:Four Sunday Night Sessions in which both your child and their sponsor (parents can be substitutes if unavailable) will attend together. These are spread out throughout the year.
One Confirmation Retreat at St. Odilia. There will be two options for either a day and a half or a one day retreat.
