Youth Confirmation

- Faith Formation

Scripture

But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self control. (Galatians 5: 22-23)

Mission Statement

To accompany high school youth who are seeking to grow in their relationship with Christ in order to arrive at full participation in the life of the His Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation

Ministry Description

Confirmation preparation is a two-year back-to-back high school program. All those seeking to enter into immediate prep in order to be confirmed in the Spring must first complete Year 1 formation the year prior with at least 75% attendance. If your teen qualifies to enter Confirmation Immediate preparation, they will begin meeting on Sunday evenings following Youth Mass from 5:45pm-7:15pm in the Fall and Spring. Below are some of the other expectations/requirements for those seeking to be confirmed:

Must register for High School Confirmation Faith Formation
Pay additional associated costs for Sacrament Year Prep, which is $150 per candidate. (The pastoral policies of this parish recognize that each student has the right to Catholic formation and no student will be denied participation due to funding. Please contact your program director for more details.)
Must submit a NEW baptismal record from Church of Baptism by the fall semester (please do not turn in a copy of your child’s original record, the diocese requires a new record for Confirmation).
If your child was baptized at Mary Queen, please fill out the “Request for Baptismal verification” form given at first parent meeting
Must have at least 80% attendance rate on Sunday evenings during Year 2
Must have attended at least two high school retreats before the Rite of Confirmation; one of these retreats is the Confirmation retreat and it is mandatory during teen’s confirmation immediate prep year.
Must complete a Work of Mercy/Service during their Confirmation year
Candidate must be able to renew Baptismal promises; should exhibit an active faith life and knowledge of the Church; participate in the Sacramental life of the Church, most especially the Eucharistic liturgies.

Confirmation may be celebrated during the high school years for any student in 10th, 11th or 12th grades who are in compliance with the Confirmation requirements above. All meetings are mandatory.
