“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. |
CONFIRMATION PREP INFORMATION
|
Both Confirmation I and Confirmation II students are expected to engage in service events. The main goal of this preparation is to help each child grow in holiness and foster within each child a culture of service.
Due to safety precautions in keeping our children and community safe from Covid-19, our approach to Service Events is very different this year.

All Baptismal and First Eucharist Certificates are due at the beginning of the academic year.
Any student who was baptized at Saint Ann or received First Eucharist at Saint Ann, please complete the form below, so we may look up the information. Those Baptized and/or receiving First Eucharist at another parish need to have their certificates mailed from that church to the Saint Ann Parish Office addressed to Kathy Schober. |
