Hello! We are currently in the process of updating our Confirmation webpage.
In the meantime, if you are a student who qualifies for your 2nd year of Confirmation preparation (please see last year's letter below for Year 1 and Year 2 requirements!), please plan on attending a MANDATORY bilingual informational meeting Sunday, Sept. 9 at 10am in the Parish Hall with your parents. We look forward to seeing you there!

It’s already time to start planning for the new school year, as well as preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation if you have not already received it!
In order to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, the Church specifically asks that you be an active member of our parish for at least one year before you begin attending Confirmation classes, which is why we prepare students at St. Louise Parish through a two-step process.
Step #1: The Proximate Year occurs the year before you begin your formal preparation and includes one of the following paths:
-
Attendance at 75% of St. Louise youth ministry programming for the year (Emmaus or Life Teen)
-
Enrollment in a Catholic high school
-
Completion of an Archdiocesan approved faith formation curriculum in the home
Registration for this first step can occur as early as your freshman year of high school. If you’re interested in enrolling please keep an eye out for the online application available later this summer, and sign-up for deadline reminders and youth ministry updates from St. Louise Life Teen at: www.stlouise.org/flocknote
Step #2: The Immediate Year is available to you as early as your sophomore year of high school, provided that you have already completed Step #1 during the previous school year. Please review the guidelines above thoroughly to most effectively discern your journey towards the Sacrament of Confirmation. If you find that you are ready, Confirmation classes for the upcoming school year will begin in September and continue through February . Deadline reminders for this program will also be posted through Flocknote, so make sure you are signed up to receive notifications!
If you are not currently active in the parish and you wish to receive Confirmation in the Spring, please make sure you enroll in and begin Step #1 by September.
Confirmation Preparation is an incredibly special and enriching experience for young Catholics that truly brings you closer to God and your Church. Please share this information with your parent or guardian. More specific information regarding this process will be in the parish bulletin starting in August. If you don’t meet these guidelines, have further questions or are seeking guidance in regards to your faith journey, please know that I am available to help in any way I can!
Have a safe, relaxing, and wonderful summer!
In Christ’s Love,
