For Confirmation, Ss. John and Paul offers family-centered sacramental preparation. In addition to attending  Parish Intergenerational Faith Formation, parents and sponors are invited to participate in a variety of ways. Two large group meetings will guide preparation, one in August, and one in May.

Confirmation candidates and their parents will be required to attend the intergenerational faith formation gatherings that begin in the fall and end in the spring for two years, their freshman and sophomore years. These gatherings, along with an entrance and exit interview, large group service opportunities, two Confirmation meetings, a renewal day and a retreat, will be completed before the celebration of Confirmation at the end of their sophomore year. 


The service opportunities will be varied. Two sites that we use are Central Iowa Shelter and Services and Meals from the Heartland. Other service oportunities will be available throughout the year and will be made known as they occur.
