2022 Confirmation
|
Welcome to Confirmation 2022. Confirmation is an intentional process designed to help young people discover more about their faith. We will learn in fun and interactive ways about what it means to Belong, Grow and Share in a life of Christ. The course will run from mid-Feb through May; The course prepares Confirmands to be ready to publicaly profess their faith in Christ. Confirmation 2022 is designed for youth in grades 6-8th, but open to all including high schoolers who have never been through the process. As you are deciding if the time is right, keep in mind that NCCP offers Confirmation every 2 years. Participation is open to all; the youth do not have to be previously Baptized, nor do their parents have to be members of the parish. The meeting schedule will vary to accommodate schedules and will conclude by Pentecost on June 5.
