IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS

PARENTS: The following guidelines have been updated to reflect changes to Confirmation Preparation and are effective immediately. Due to the current pandemic the items marked with (***) are subject to change as the circumstances warrant. Please be assured we are taking into account the health and wellbeing of every student entrusted to us.

In keeping with the Archdiocesan guidelines, students must complete two years of Faith Formation before beginning the specific classes to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation in the 10th grade. Confirmation Preparation will now occur when the candidate is in the 9th grade with celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation in the fall of the next school year.
