“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit" Acts 2:4
Confirmation unites us more firmly to Christ. It strengthens our relationship with the Church, and gives us a special strength from the Holy Spirit to defend the faith and confess the name of Christ.
Through our Parish Religious Education (PRE) classes at Saint Ann Church and our Saint Ann School catechists, children are lead along this engaging and innovative journey of Confirmation Preparation for two years.

Confirmation I (generally 7th Grade) students are steered by Decision Point by Dynamic Catholic (Matthew Kelly) as they navigate through what it means to embrace our Catholic Faith as their own. Confirmation II (generally 8th Grade) students follow Chosen by Ascension Press which proclaims to our confirmation candidates that this Sacrament, and indeed our faith, are not about information intake, but about encountering Jesus. Chosen invites our young people to encounter Christ through the Church, the Scripture, the Mass, the Sacraments...and one another. In the fall, students will focus on preparing for the sacrament itself. During the spring semester the focus will be on living the faith and taking on more responsibility as "adults" in the church. |
