Confirmation Preparation
Below is a plan for preparing young people for Confirmation.
In the Diocese there are a few requirements to be Confirmed.
1. One must be 16 on the day of Confirmation.
2. One must be adequately prepared to receive the Sacrament.
3. One must desire to receive the Sacrament.
4. One must have a mentor to support them in preparation.
The preparation is intended to take 2 years. However this year only we will be providing the opportunity for youth who will be 16 by April 15, 2012 to finish their preparation in just one year, if they so desire.
The meetings for September 2011- May 2012 will be 1-3pm at St. Michael’s Parish, 7400 Tudor Rd.
The meetings will be once a month on Sunday afternoons as follows:
September 11
October 9
November 13
December 11
January 8
February 12
March 11
April 15
May 6
Please note these are all the second Sundays of the month, except for April and May.
