Things You Will Need For Confirmation

Baptismal Certificate:  A copy of the child's Baptismal Certificate is required at Registration.  The Baptismal Church is the church of record for your child.  We are required to notify the Baptismal Church after your child receives Confirmation.

Sacrament Book:  Besides the typical textbook, an additional Sacrament Book will need to be purchased.  These books will be made available at the parent meeting in December.

Service Hours: Each student receiving Confirmation is responsible for performing five (5) hours of Community Service. These hours can be done as a family. See the attached list for possible service opportunities or come up with one of your own.  Remember to keep track of the Service Hours. You can use our form or simply a piece of paper with the name of the project, date, hours of service performed and signature of the project supervisor. Start early, there are usually more opportunities around the holidays.
