Confirmation
Preparation for Confirmation:
In the Diocese of Arlington, the time at which young people celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation is 8th grade. To prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation, young people must be enrolled in a formal program of catechesis either through the parish religious education program, a local Catholic school, or an approved home school program.
Registration for Confirmation:
All 8th graders who would like to receive this sacrament in the spring of 2011 must complete a sacramental preparation registration process with the Religious Education Office. Registration meeting dates are listed below. Please make every effort to attend one of these meetings to register your child for Confirmation.
At the meeting, families will be given a Confirmation preparation binder which will include a handbook, important dates, the required forms, and information about the necessary requirements which the students must complete in order to be Confirmed.
