8th & 9th Grade Confirmation Reconciliation
The 8th & 9th grade Confirmation Program has a scheduled Reconciliation on Saturday, 25 February 2012 from 1 - 2 pm in the church.
8th Grade Faith Formation
8th Grade Faith Formation begins the process of preparing our candidates for Confirmation. Classes are held on alternating Sunday evenings in the Church Library.

Confirmation
Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation. The process is our opportunity to help candidates to form strong life-long habits in the life of Christ. We celebrate Confirmation in the context of the Mass, the Eucharist. The goal of this sacramental program is to help young people be receptive and responsive to the graces and challenges of the Sacrament of Confirmation. They learn that it is a Sacrament of Initiation that deepens their relationship with the Church. They become more aware of the presence and action of the Spirit and his gifts within them, which empower them to live as Jesus did. They discover ways to fulfill the specific responsibilities that are theirs as Christians. The church teaches that parents are the first and foremost catechists of their children. Prepare your teenager for full Christian living by attending mass and praying together as a family.
Here at Our Lady of Lourdes, we have set some guidelines/policies regarding the responsibilities that must be met in order to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation:
- Confirmation Name
- Baptismal Certificate (copy)
