Class dates and times

Confirmation preparation will be in two parts: Living the Faith and Learning the Faith.

Our Living the Faith classes focus on worship, community, and our lives as Catholics. These will be taught on three Sunday evenings, Sep 29th, Oct 20th, and Mar 16th, from 5:00-7:00 pm. There will also be a full day Saturday retreat on March 29th. All Confirmation candidates need to attend all Living the Faith classes and the Confirmation retreat.

Our Learning the Faith classes focus on the content and information that all confirmed Catholics should know. For 7th grade students in Holy Rosary School, these will be taught during the school day as part of the 7th grade religion class. For Faith Formation students and students not in 7th grade at Holy Rosary School, these will be taught on Sundays. The Sunday classes will start at 9:40 am (or immediately after the 8:30 am mass) and end at 11:00 am. All Confirmation candidates need to attend Learning the Faith classes, either in the school or on Sundays.
