Confirmation at St. John's
Information about St. John's sacramental preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation was provided at a meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 23. Packets with information about Confirmation requirements, including service and retreats, were distributed at that meeting.
Young people in Grade 10 or older are welcome to prepare for this Sacrament of Initiation. Confirmation has been assigned as Thursday, Feb. 11, 2010 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 2009, you will have fulfilled your retreat experience. The 2009 Summer Stretch or Mission New Orleans experiences can apply to your Confirmation service requirements.
If you were unable to attend, or have misplaced important paperwork, is is available here online.
The sacramental preparation fee of $85 covers all costs associated with Confirmation, including the required retreat experience. Young people who do not attend Catholic high school are required to enroll for Wednesday classes. RE tuition is $95 per child. Financial assistance is available and payment plans may be arranged. No child will be denied religious education based on ability to pay.
Catholic high school 10th graders must register as Confirmation candidates but are not required to enroll in Wednesday classes. When Catholic high school students register, they will be scheduled for a pre-Confirmation interview with a member of the RE staff.
