CONFIRMATION PREP Overview

The main goal of this preparation is to help each child grow in holiness.  Hopefully, sharing these expectations far in advance will help us keep our main goal as our main focus as we proceed.
Through our Parish Religious Education (PRE) classes at Saint Ann Church and our Saint Ann School (SAS) catechists, our young people are lead along an engaging and innovative journey of Confirmation Preparation.
 Please note, Confirmation Preparation is a two year process.
Parents and students are expected to be familiar with and to fulfill all expectations of both years:
Confirmation 1 (PRE) or 7th Grade Religion (SAS)
and
Confirmation 2 (PRE) or 8th Grade Religion (SAS)
Parents and Catechists are asked to read over this page on Confirmation each semester with their students to help ensure that our young people, who are preparing to become adults in the Church, begin to take ownership and responsibility for completing and submitting required service and forms as listed here.
