Confirmation Preparation

First Year Confirmation Preparation is for students not enrolled in MACS who would like to begin the Confirmation process. 

At St. Peter this course begins in 7th grade. The preparation year includes traditional academic work and scripture reflection.

First Year Confirmation Preparation provides an overview of scripture and Tradition that prepares students to renew their baptismal vows at Confirmation.  First year of confirmation is a required part of the Confirmation process.

Note: Students enrolled in MACS are not required to complete First Year Confirmation Preparation.

Confirmation Preparation is for students who are 8th graders in the MACS system or have completed the First Year Confirmation Preparation.

Our program is animated by the belief that  “Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world” (U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults).

The former superior general of the Jesuits, Pedro Arrupe, once said that the goal of Jesuit education was to form “men and women for others.”

The goal of our Confirmation preparation is to provide the tools for your child to become a man or woman for others. To meet this goal, there is a consistent emphasis on learning about and putting into practice Ignatian spirituality.
