Sacrament oF Confirmation
Confirmation is a special sacrament of faith and treating it with the reverence it deserves, means committing to consistent attendance; therefore, attending all classes and being on-time is truly important. Your presence not only helps you fully prepare, but also shows respect for the sacrament itself.
It's about your spiritual foundation and connection with God. Being present, for every meeting, is how you honor the significance of this sacrament.

SACRAMENTAL
FORMATION
Catechesis
In order to get the most out of the Sacrament of Confirmation, we need to be receptive to what the Lord has to offer us; and in order to be fully receptive, we need to know what it is we are being offered!
We know your lives are busy, and we don't want to burden you with more class time than is absolutely necessary to be fully prepared for the Sacrament.
Our Confirmation prep sessions are designed give you a deep understanding of what the Sacrament of Confirmation does in the life of a disciple, contextualized within God's plan for the salvation of the world. This is not an overview of everything ever covered in faith formation, but rather just sacramental preparation. Check out the list of topics covered in the section of this page titled "Formation Topics".
Participation in the Parish Community
The Sacrament of Confirmation equips us for our lifelong vocation and mission within the Catholic Church; participation in the local parish community is essential to our vocation and mission.
Our Bishop reinstated the Sunday Obligation for all of the faithful within our diocese in June 2021 as part of the "Come Home to Communion" campaign.
Our Confirmation candidates and their families should be making every effort to attend Sunday Mass with their St. Therese Parish Community, as well as getting involved in some sort of ministry at the parish.
If you are traveling, you still need to be going to Sunday Mass. Check www.MassTimes.org to find a Catholic Church to worship at near you.
We encourage our Confirmation candidates, and in particular those joining us for our Fall Session, to attend the 5:00 PM Sunday Mass, immediately following each Confirmation session.
On Wednesday nights at 6 PM, our Confirmation candidates are encouraged to join our middle and high school youth at Young Church in the "Upper Room" in the 3rd Floor of the EEC for games, discussion, and fellowship.
