Things You Will Need For Confirmation

Baptismal Certificate: A copy of the child's Baptismal Certificate is required at Registration.  The Baptismal Church is the church of record for your child.  We are required to notify the Baptismal Church after your child receives Confirmation.

Sacrament Book: Besides the typical textbook, an additional Sacrament Book will need to be purchased. Sacrament books and materials will be distributed to the students during class time beginning in January.

Service Hours: Each student receiving Confirmation is responsible for performing five (5) hours of Community Service. These hours can be done as a family. See the attached list for possible service opportunities or come up with one of your own.  Remember to keep track of the Service Hours. You can use our form or simply a piece of paper with the name of the project, date, hours of service performed and signature of the project supervisor. Start early, there are usually more opportunities around the holidays.

Banner: The Banner will mark the pew in which your family will be seated. The Banner Size is 14” x 16”, with an 18” string to go over the pew. The Banner should symbolize some aspect of Eucharist/Confirmation. First and Last Name Must be on Banner. The Banner should be brought to the CE office prior to Communion Rehearsal night or, at the very latest, the evening of Rehearsal.
