Confirmation Family Faith Formation
-
-
Program DescriptionFamilies seeking the Sacrament of Confirmation for their children are required to undergo two years of formation, which is split up into Level 1 & Level 2.
LEVEL 1- Parents and children in Level 1 of Confirmation formation (typically Grade 7 children) will be provided with resources to have faith conversations at home using the Pathways resources from Faith and Family Life Catholic Ministries https://www.fflcm.org/pathways
They will then meet in person on selected dates throughout the year (see the table below with the 2026-2027 schedule).- Families are required to fill out a Mass Transit Card directly after attending Mass. These cards offer a short reflection and an opportunity for families to write what they have observed at Mass.
- All requirements need to be completed before acceptance into Level 2 of Confirmation Prep formation the following year.

The program for families with teens in their second year of preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation (typically Grade 8 teens), has three components:
LEVEL 2
- Participation in weekly Mass, preferably the 6:00 pm Sunday Mass
- Completion of Mass Transit Cards after attending Mass.
- Participation in scheduled catechesis sessions for both parents and teens, using Pflaum’s Gospel Weeklies resources.
- Parents will experience their own separate formation sessions on some dates. On others, we will combine parents and teens to receive formation together.
