Candidates begin preparation for confirmation in Seventh Grade and begin working on a combination of 80 service hours from the following areas: 20 from Church, 20 from Community, 20 from Family, and 20 from Enrichment Activities. They must choose a sponsor who is an active, participating Catholic who will help them prepare for this sacrament and continue to walk in faith with them after being fully initiated into the Catholic Faith.

Candidates are expected to understand and express Catholic doctrine through an interview, and write a letter to the Pastor explaining their desire for Confirmation at the end of their Eighth Grade year.  After completing their 80 hours of service, candidates will attend a retreat and celebrate this sacrament in the fall of Ninth Grade.

Parents are expected to take their child to Mass, model the Catholic faith, work on preparation in the home, be involved in what is happening in their child’s religion classes and FLOW (Jr. Youth Group) activities, and attend parent meetings throughout the year. 

Enrollment begins in the spring prior to fall classes. Please call 248.693.9555 for more information or simply download the Religious Education Registration Form and send it to the Faith Formation Office. Once you have registered for classes you will need to fill out and turn in the Confirmation Info Sheet and Confirmation Registration Form.
