Our confirmation camp is a weeklong camp held in the second full week of the month of July. We begin our week on a Sunday with a retreat based on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Monday through Friday the students meet from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with each day focusing on a certain area of faith development. There are other components that the candidates must attend throughout the year. Our candidates will come together for an Evening of Reflection (Communal Penance Service.) The candidates will join the High School Youth Ministry program for an evening to take a look at what is available beyond their 8th grade year. They will also be involved in service experiences. There are four main requirements for the preparation of Confirmation. First, the candidate must be entering into the 8th grade. Candidates must be registered in and attending SMS, CCD, or approved Home Schooling program throughout their 8th grade year. Candidates must attend the entire Confirmation Camp. Finally, candidates must attend the other components throughout the year. Because the confirmation camp is the main component of our preparation, it is important that the candidate attend the camp. If you have a scheduling conflict for the year your child would normally prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation, it is recommended that he/she waits until the following year. 2007-2008 Confirmation Schedule & Service Opportunities Confirmation Packet Information Confirmation General Information Parent Commitment Sponsor Commitment Witness of Sponsor Form Sponsor Interview Sheet Confirmation Name Form Future Camp Dates: July 13-18, 2008 July 12-17, 2009 July 11-16, 2010 July 10-15, 2011 July 8-13, 2012 July 14-19, 2013 July 13-18, 2014 July 12-17, 2015 July 10-15, 2016 It is recommended that you know the dates your child will be attending so as to not plan anything else during that period.
