Confirmation (Youth)

Families seeking Confirmation for their teen should have the student enrolled in a Catholic School or the SOR program at Curé of Ars. To register and pay for your child's SOR and sacramental fees, please go to:

According to our diocesan guidelines, the Sacrament of Confirmation is generally conferred upon parish students in their 8^th grade year.  In this sacrament, baptized students are “sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit” and strengthened in faith to serve as committed Catholic Christians. 

The first teachers during this preparation process are the parents.  Students learn most by their experiences with faith in the home and the behavior modeled by their parents.  There is no program substitute for prayer, faith discussion and Mass attendance within the family structure.  Teachers in the school and RE program work to partner with the parents by supplementing with classroom curriculum and evening meetings. 

Preparation for this sacrament takes place during the 7^th and 8^th grade year for Cure of Ars parish students.  Those students attending our parish School of Religion (SOR) program will prepare during Year 1 and Year 2 (generally 7^th & 8^th grade) of Confirmation Preparation. Those students attending Cure of Ars Catholic School will prepare during their 7th and 8th grade classes.

If you are interested in Confirmation for your high school child, please contact Andrew Lynch for preparation options. (See below for contact info for Andrew Lynch.)
