Registration Deadline is September 10th
This registration is for families of children not enrolled in St. Odilia School who are in grades 7 and up, who wish to register for Sacramental preparation for Confirmation. Confirmation at St. Odilia is a two-year program, with the Confirmation Celebration taking place in the spring of the second year of the program.
Below are the required classes and events to attend:
Orientation: We will have a confirmation orientation on September 22nd for those in their second year with us. It will be from 7-8 in the church. Parents and Children are required to attend.
Classes: Classes for Confirmation occur 2 times a month on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm, from early September to early May. Our kickoff is Sep 18th.
Sponsor and Candidate Sessions: There are five large group sessions in which both the sponsor and child are required to attend. This is a change from last year to encourage sponsors to play a more active role in their candidates faith life. If your sponsor is unable to attend any sessions, a parent or another role model is able to substitute. These will be Nov 17th, Jan 26th, Mar 9th, April 6th, and May 4th.
Retreat: We will have options for one of two retreats to attend this year. The first will be a day and a half on October 18th and October 19th. The second will be a single day on January 11th. These will take place at St. Odilia and cost $40.
Tuition: Tuition for those students enrolled in the Wednesday evening program for Confirmation preparation is $150 for the year. This does not include the expense for the retreat.
Confirmation Date: TBD in May
Parents will need to fill out one registration per child, and there is a family maximum of $300 per family.
