Please submit a copy of your Baptism certificate to Cristy before classes begin.

All those to be confirmed must participate in our video sessions called “The Search” through formed.org. This program consists of 7 sessions and a day retreat. The Diocese requires a retreat to be confirmed. The sessions will consist in food, fellowship, a short video presentation, small group discussion, and prayer. Since this time commitment is very practical, our expectations are that you would make this a top priority in your schedule and not ask to be absent for weekly sessions or retreat.

All confirmation candidates are also strongly encouraged to participate in our Life Teen program, which takes place after most 5:00pm Sunday Masses. These Life Nights offer a meal and address relevant topics in a Catholic context. Life Nights are opportunities for your teen to grow in holiness and pave the way for them to have a lifelong relationship with Christ. For more information about Sacred Heart Life Teen, click here.
