ST. THOMAS CONFIRMATION PROGRAM

ABOUT

Picture

2-Year Program

Confirmation 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
*subject to change for the 2020-2021 virtual year*

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 2020-2021 year, both Confirmation I & II will be on "Cycle 2."

CLASSES / SESSIONS

Virtual Confirmation Prep Sessions
(2020-2021 School Year)

  • All prep sessions will be recorded videos distributed each month beginning in September and ending in April.
  • Confirmandi students will need to respond at least once each month to an on-line discussion board. Discussions will relate to the video content.
  • All videos and discussions will be managed through Google Classroom. Each teen will need a Google account to access the program. Once your teen has created a Google account, please fill out the following form so we have the correct email address associated with your teen’s Google account. This can be a parent or guardian’s email address, however, it is the teen who will be using this account to access videos and discussions."

Confirmation Day

Typically the Diocese assigns our Confirmation in the Spring (i.e. March or April). We announce the Confirmation date as soon as we receive it from the Diocese.
