The Sacrament of Confirmation
Confirmation is regionally administered annually to those in the 8th Grade. The candidate for Confirmation must be enrolled in either Assumption BVM School or the Parish PREP program for two years before receiving the Sacrament. Being a sacrament preparation year, there are additional expectations before the child may be confirmed. These include completion of service hours, participation in a diocesan program, a retreat, and other requirements regardless of school affiliation. The candidate is also expected to attend Mass every Sunday and Confession on reasonable basis.
