Registration for High School Confirmation has begun for students in grades 8-12. Registration closes September 2, 2022.
Classes start September 11, 2022 and are held September through April on Sundays. 10:00 AM Mass attendance followed by class instruction from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM twice a month. Coursework must be completed in order to receive Confirmation.
YEAR 1: Pre-Confirmation Classes are for those students in 8th grade to 11th grade, who are not attending/did not attend 8th grade in a Catholic Middle School. Pre-Confirmation prepares the Candidate in Catholic Doctrine and in the spirituality of the Sacrament of Confirmation.
YEAR 2 : Confirmation Classes are for those students in 9th to 12th grade who have completed the Pre-Confirmation Class or have successfully completed 8th grade in a Catholic Mid-School. A Candidate cannot turn 18 years old before the Confirmation date of April/May or June of 2023. We will know the Archdiocesan Schedule of Confirmations by the end of September for 2023.
Parents of Confirmation Candidates must be registered and active at Our Lady of Fatima for at least one year. Candidates must have received Baptism, First Reconciliation and First Eucharist and certificates must be provided at the time of registration.
It is a moral obligation for Catholic parents to educate their children in the faith. The goal of the parish Confirmation Program is to assist parents in enabling and encouraging their children to learn more about and live their faith. In all things, Mass attendance, service to others and love of neighbor is promoted.
There is a $60.00 book and material fee for both Year 1 and Year 2 Confirmation. Please provide copies of your child's sacramental certificates and certificate of promotion from a Catholic Mid School if applicable.
