Confirmation

    The goal of Teen Confirmation is to provide a well-balanced program, which
    enables full participation and a sense of belonging in our parish community.
    We are dedicated to preparing candidates to form strong, life long habits of a
    Christian life while empowering teens to use their gifts and to respond to
    challenges.

    We believe the relationship teens are developing with God and our community
    takes time and is a serious commitment. As a result our confirmation program
    is a two-year process. If you are uncertain about making this commitment I
    encourage you to attend our first meeting on September 20.

    We are excited to introduce new elements for the 2009 season. Each
    confirmation session will begin with a Youth Mass. Our liturgy will be followed
    by a variety of small group sessions. Candidates will select their elective
    session for each semester. Although a brief description is included all of the
    electives will be explained in detail at our first meeting.

    Thank you for giving the St. Theresa community the opportunity to participate in
    your preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. We are happy to assist
    you in seeing and understanding how God works in your daily life.
