For those entering the formal Confirmation preperation process to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation in November:

At Saint Alberts Confirmation is made starting in 10th grade. Prior to 10th grade, students must attend 2 years of religious education (8th and 9th) in order to be eligible to enter formal classes in the fall. If you are in high school and haven't started your two years of religious education, please contact Dave.
 
If you have any questions about the sacrament or the process at Saint Alberts, please contact Dave in the Catechises and  Evangelization office. 

During this process, we challenge our students to ask questions that allow them to understand and live their faith. We challenge them to become strong and faithful Catholics. Confirmation is the begining of a lifetime of learning and practicing your Catholic faith in your every day lives. A sacrament of evangelazation, not graduation from church.

As part of preparation, candidates will attend a retreat. The date for the retreat changes yearly. If you can not make the retreat, it is your responsability to make another parish's overnight Confirmation retreat.
