Confirmation Program

Confirmation Program:

  • Confirmation Preparation in PREP is a one year process that begins in 7th grade & continues into the fall of 8th grade. 

  • In 7th grade our Catechists implement  the Archdiocesan framework as well as the following program to ensure our students’ readiness for the Sacrament.

    • During the 2022-23 school year, we will use the “Confirmed in the Spirit” program by Loyola Press. Other resources will include Decision Point by Dynamic Catholic  and the Chosen series from Ascension Press. 

      • Our curriculum focuses on evangelizing young people and accompanying them as they become disciples. The curriculum addresses three big questions, "Why believe in God?", "Why trust Jesus?" and "Why be a part of the Church?"

  • Candidates attend sessions during the school year covering the above material, or  they may attend Camp Caritas to cover this requirement via a summer camp experience.
