Registration for our Fall 2025 Confirmation class is open!

 

Students who will be juniors this fall are invited to participate. Students who will be seniors this fall who did not Confirm last year are also invited.

​​

We would also like to invite students who will be freshmen and sophomores who are not attending a Catholic school this fall. These students will have their own small groups.

 

This is a part of our plan to move the reception of Confirmation to the 7th grade.

 

Important due dates:

• June 30th: Online form and fee

• July 1st: Items for candidates not current in their religious education

  • PSR make-up assignment​

  • At-home PSR end-of-year assignment

  • Ascension Press Venture course

  • Ascension Press Connected course

• July 15th: Baptismal certificate for any candidate who was not baptized at St. Aloysius.

• July 31st:  Completed Sponsor form, signed by the sponsor's pastor

​​

If your candidate cannot meet these deadlines they will be asked to participate in our next Confirmation program.

​

Students who Confirm this fall will not be required to continue in our PSR program; they will be invited to participate in ministries like youth group, bible studies, and other opportunities to grow their faith (none of which are mandatory).

 

Students who do not Confirm this fall can always participate at a later date, but they will be expected to continue in at-home formation, which we will provide.

Why should I be Confirmed?

 

 

You should consider being confirmed because doing so brings you closer to God and His love for you. 

 

It also gives you the opportunity to approach God more intimately with your struggles and anxieties, including those regarding your faith! The sacraments are our visible signs of God's love for us, and confirmation delivers tremendous graces into your life through the Holy Spirit. Lastly, it gives you a more firm foundation in your relationship with the Catholic Church.

 

Confirmation may also be a way for you to honor your family and their decision to have you baptized in the Catholic Church. Furthermore, you can choose a sibling, uncle, aunt, godparent, grandparent, teacher, or another significant friend to serve as your confirmation sponsor.

 

How can parents get involved and help?

 

St. Aloysius needs parents to help us during our journey to confirmation! The biggest need is for parents (and other interested adults) to serve as confirmation small group leaders. All of our confirmation candidates meet in small groups of six to eight teens, which gives them the perfect venue to learn and express their own thoughts regarding the Catholic faith and confirmation.

 

We have received wonderful feedback; every year the candidates are clamoring for more time with their small group at the end of the process! Please email MacDougall Womack if you are interested in helping!
