Romans 12:2 inspires and reminds us that God came to change the world, not conform to it. We see through the pressure of society, youth are under a lot of pressure to be of this world and be attached to what the world can offer, rather than see the world itself as a gift and desire to share about the life of our Creator, Jesus Christ.  How is this done? Through a small group modeled program that is mentor-based; one that is easily individualized and expects more from our teens than their simple attendance. The young teens preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation deserve good formation to lead them deeper into their faith and invites them to encounter Jesus Christ in a real and authentic way.

For families who have youth who will be sophomores (10th grade) in 2022-2023, you should have recieved a letter in the mail and an email at the beginning of June 2022. Contact Maria if you haven't yet.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated during sophomore year. Confirmation prep begins freshman year at Saints John and Paul with participation in Parish Intergenerational Faith Formation and an informational meeting in the spring.
