In the Archdiocese of Washington it is a requirement that anyone wanting to receive the sacrament of Confirmation receive at least two years of Confirmation preparation.
Here at St. Rose, students typically begin their first year of Confirmation Prep in 7th grade in order to receive the sacrament in the spring of their 8th grade year. We offer Confirmation prep classes for older teens who have received other Sacraments and would like to be confirmed. For more information, please contact the Director of Youth Ministry.
We will be having two Family Sessions in which a Parent and/or Sponsor must attend a Zoom meeting with the Confirmation Candidate. It is expected that families will attend all sessions as part of the Confirmation preparation.
Family Session #2 Sponsor + Confirmation Candidate (choose one)
Sponsor Requirements:
Service is both an attitude and an action that flows naturally from one’s baptismal call as a grateful response to God’s gifts. Through service, candidates participate more fully in the life of the Church and learn ways to use their gifts in service to the parish and community. Candidates are encouraged to document their service experience as they prepare for Confirmation.
Please check out the resources below on ways to serve:
Sacramental and Sponsor verification forms will be made available soon.
