Preparation for Confirmation consists of a variety of activities designed to help high school students, 9th grade or older, understand the various ways in which Jesus Christ is present in their lives. Students explore their Catholic faith and learn how to apply their beliefs to everyday life through participation in small group sessions, large group presentations, service projects, prayers services, music, and an overnight retreat. Volunteer catechists, guest speakers, and peer ministers work together to guide our candidates on their spiritual journey. The Confirmation preparation process involves not only the individuals who are preparing to celebrate the sacrament, but also their families, sponsors, and the entire parish community.
Confirmation classes are held regularly on Sundays, from 10:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., at the Saint Rose Parish Center, following the 9:00 a.m. Mass. Classes begin on Sunday, Sept. 27, 2020. Candidates will be confirmed on April 12, 2021, at the Cathedral of Saint Paul. Scheduling information will be available through the Sunday bulletin and all questions may be directed to the Religious Education Office.
