2-Year ProgramConfirmation formation at St. Thomas is a 2-year program, and most of our teens are confirmed in the spring of their freshman year. The first year of formation typically begins in 8th grade, but youth can enter the program after 8th grade if that's the situation your family is in. Youth enter into the second year of formation when they have completed the first year. There is an exception to this: if your son or daughter attended St. Thomas School in 8th grade, then they enter into the second year of formation in their freshman year.

SESSION OVERVIEW
The topics of each session are outlined in the table below. Confirmation I & II classes attend all sessions together, which is why the topics below are named "cycles" instead of "years." For example, in this 2019-2020 year, both Confirmation I & II will be on "Cycle 1."
