Teen ConfirmationOur Confirmation program follows the Archdiocesan two year preparation program and is open to all registered parishioners, in high school and less then 16 years old, who meet the requirements. Faithful weekend Mass attendance is required as preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, and is a must for a good Catholic.
Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit – his actions, his gifts, and his biddings – in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. Year I Candidates will learn ABOUT themselves and their faith: making life choices, finding the truth, who is Jesus, how to pray, the bible and relationship. Year II Candidates will begin to develop a RELATIONSHIP with God, the Church and their faith: The Eucharist, Holy Spirit, Church, Confirmation, Mission and Holiness. Catechesis for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church, as well as to the parish community.
There are two groups: Angel’s who meet on the First Sunday of the month and Friar’s who meet on the Third Sunday of the month from 11:30am until 1:00pm (Year II meets until 1:30pm). Candidates meeting on their particular Sunday are required to attend the 10:00am Sunday mass on that day. All other candidates not attending Confirmation session on that particular Sunday can attend other mass times, but it is required to attend mass at St. Anthony church as often as possible but at least three times a month.
Our candidates are asked to be of service to our Parish Community. All Candidates are to complete 10 Service Projects per year, 4 Liturigical Projects, Help with 4 Hospitalities, and complete a Mandatory Project.
In addition to attending regular Sunday Masses, Study Sessions and Service Projects, candidates are also to attend one Family Prayer time during the year, attend Youth Day at least once and a yearly Retreat.
