Confirmation at St. John's

Information about St. John's sacramental preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation will be provided at a meeting for all candidates and their parents in Fall. Packets with information about Confirmation requirements, including service and retreats, were distributed at that meeting.

However, in the meantime, a letter has been mailed to all prospective Confirmation candidates. If you did not receive one, a copy is provided here.

Young people in Grade 10 or older are welcome to prepare for this Sacrament of Initiation. Confirmation has been assigned as Saturday, Feb. 12, 2011 at the Cathedral of St. Paul. Teens who are in 10th grade or older may prepare to be Confirmed by fulfilling the requirements of St. John's preparation program as outlined below (see General Overview or Program Information below).

If you attended the Steubenville North II Conference in Summer 2010, you will have fulfilled your retreat experience. The 2010 Summer Stretch, Mission Minneapolis, IHM VBS and/or St. John's Voyages VBS experiences can apply to your Confirmation service requirements.

As our calendar is created and information is available, it will be uploaded to this page.
