Confirmation: Year 1 & 2
Confirmation
Confirmation is a two-year faith formation program designed for students starting in 7th grade, aimed at deepening their relationship with Christ and the Church.
In confirmation, students not only gain knowledge but also form a supportive community where they can learn, serve, and grow together as they prepare for the sacrament.
