Taste and See Confirmation Prep Program
Grades 10 – 12
Classes begin in October 2011
Our Confirmation program like the Journey to Confirmation program is a fairly new program with flexibility and choice. Together with the Faith Communities of St. Mary’s Crescent and Corpus Christi, we offer the Confirmation candidates and their families the opportunity to grow in their faith as they prepare together to celebrate this Sacrament.
Candidates are expected to attend classes, a Confirmation retreat, participate in a one to one conversation about where they are in their faith journey and perform faith based community service. They will choose a name that has meaning to them and a sponsor to guide them on the journey. This year the Candidates will be sharing the experience with their families by attending classes with an adult and/or a confirmed teen. Our goal is to make this a meaningful experience for the whole family. Sign-ups for classes will be online.
