Confirmation
Confirmation will be made in 10 th, 11 th or 12 th Grade after 2 years of religious education classes and Confirmation specific classes and a retreat.
Confirmation is not graduation from religious education. It is the beginning of a lifetime of learning more about your faith so that you can be Catholic in your daily lives. Confirmation is the sacrament of Evangelization. We look to our confirmation students to be our youth leaders in SAY (Saint Albert’s Youth).
The Diocese requires that you complete 2 years of religious education prior to taking your Confirmation classes.
These 2 years can be:- 8 th grade RE and 9 th grade SAY
- Or 9 th and 10 th grade SAY
- Or 10 th and 11 th grade SAY.
- Or any of these combinations at a Catholic school (8 & 9 / 9 & 10 / 10 & 11 )
We will offer Confirmation specific classes in the Fall (August)of Year 3. You need to register for these classes in May the year you will receive Confirmation (10 th/11 th/12 th). These classes will be offered on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM in the classrooms of the Parish Hall.
We will also offer a Confirmation retreat in the Fall of Year 3 which is required for all making Confirmation. The date for the retreat changes yearly. If you can not make the retreat, it is your responcibility to make another parish's Confirmation retreat.
The Year 3 students and one parent or guardian will attend a meeting in May to receive a packet of material. This packet will include all the paperwork that is need to be complete for the sacrament of confirmation and have dates and times of classes, the retreat and when Confirmation will take place at St. Albert.
During this process we challenge our students to ask the questions that keep them for understanding and living their faith. We challenge them to become strong and faithful Catholics.
