8th Grade Confirmation

Registration for 2022-2023 coming March 1, 2022.

Confirmation is the final Sacrament of Initiation in the Catholic Church. This means that the person becomes a full adult in the Church, ready to be sent out and spread God’s love to the greater community. Every Confirmed Catholic receives the same Holy Spirit as the apostles received at Pentecost. This Spirit empowers us throughout our lives with gifts and sanctifying grace to be the person God created us to be.

At Good Shepherd

To be eligible to join the Confirmation Ministry, a young person must first attend 7th Grade Faith Formation.

Prepare your hearts for the Sacrament of Confirmation through our Confirmation Ministry! For our meetings, we will be using the “Purpose” program from Lifeteen. It is a dynamic, contemporary program aimed at forming young hearts into disciples of Christ. There are multiple requirements in preparing for Confirmation that develop the children’s understanding of Catholicism, love for service, sense of a faith community, and dedication to regular prayer. You will hear more about these requirements at our parent meeting in the fall.
