Important Notes:
Our Confirmation preparation program at St. John is a two year program.
Year 1 is open to students from 8th grade through 11th grade.
Year 1 is comprised of the above dates. These dates require students AND their sponsors to attend. If a sponsor cannot attend then a parent/guardian is expected to attend in their place.
A parent/guardian must attend our Year 1 Parent Orientation on September 17th from 7:40pm-8:45pm in the McMullen Educational Center. If a parent/guardian is unable to attend, the child’s sponsor may attend in their place. Students do not need to attend the orientation.
Confirmation Sponsors must be a Confirmed and practicing Catholic, at least 16 years old, and able to attend the above dates with your child. If a student choses a sponsor who lives out of town, the student will also have to choose a local “proxy” sponsor to go through this program with them. Sponsors cannot be a parent of the child.
If your child is in need of Baptism or 1st Communion as well, please indicate this by emailing me (Chelsea) or mentioning it on the registration form when you register.
