  • Welcome to our Confirmation Preparation page!
    Welcome to our Confirmation Preparation page!
    The Sacrament of Confirmation completes Baptism by increasing and deepening the Baptismal graces. Confirmation unites us more firmly to Christ, increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit within us, makes our bond with the Catholic Church more perfect, and gives us special strength to spread and defend the faith.
    • How does Confirmation preparation work?

      • For those who are students at St. Matthew school, Chosen will be taught in religion class. In addition to learning the Chosen content, parents and confirmation students will come to a "Connect" night 4 times throughout the year to receive additional Christian formation. Confirmation students are also required to attend the Confirmation retreat in February at Damascus. 
            *Click here for Confirmation Prep registration as a school family
       
      • For those who are enrolled in Family of Faith (previously PSR), Chosen will be taught at home with the online courses . Confirmation families will follow the Family of Faith model like everyone else. On top of that, they will also come in for the 4 "Connect" nights throughout the year to receive additional Christian formation. Family of Faith confirmation students are required to attend the Confirmation retreat in February at Damascus.

    • When Do We Celebrate Confirmation at St. Matthew?

      Most parishes offer Confirmation to parishioners in their early teenage years. At Saint Matthew, we prepare students for two years, usually beginning in seventh grade, to receive Confirmation at the end of their eighth grade year.
      Confirmation typically happens in the springtime.
