“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 (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 candidates 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 candidates are expected to be familiar with and to fulfill all expectations of both years:
