Youth Ministry accompanies the Confirmation programs offered in our parishes! Through service, liturgy, and social events, Youth Ministry engages with students in Confirmation preparation for two years. 

Youth Ministry's role in Confirmation preparation is to help students understand their ongoing commitment being made during sacramental preparation so that they know "what they are getting themselves into." The sacrament of Confirmation is not about the ceremony, far from it. Sacraments are LIVED and during sacramental preparation it needs to be understood that you are confirming your faith and to live your life as a disciple of Christ. 

See below for opportunities Youth Ministry offers specifically for teens in Confirmation preparation:
