8-10 High School Confirmation Preparation is designed to be an overview of our Catholic faith with emphasis on deepening a candidate’s understanding, and leading them to a true conversion of mind, heart and life to Christ.
All Candidates should bring their Bible with them to class each month. Please be sure your child completes their assignments
Periodic evaluations will be based upon their class & home assignments, attendance & participation.
Your Confirmation name must be a saint's name or a variation of a saint's name. If a Christian name has been given at Baptism, you may want to keep your Baptismal name to emphasize that Confirmation is a sealing of your Baptismal commitment.
It might be a good occasion for you to learn more about this saint so you will try to imitate him/her. Or, you may choose a special Confirmation name to honor another saint as your special patron. Please spend time considering your choice. Pray about it. Talk it over with your Christian witness and parents. Then research and write a 1 1/2 page saint report on your Confirmation saint.Your report should include:
- A brief summary of the life & virtues of the saint chosen.
- Why you have chosen that saint.
- What you can imitate in that saint's life.
