Mission Statement...We are a Catholic family, living our awareness of Christ’s presence through worship, service, evangelization and community for the benefit of all.
The Confirmation Program at St. Thomas is a two year program. Students begin with Confirmation I, as early as 8th grade, continue the following year to Confirmation II and get confirmed that spring. Sessions go from September-April.
We will meet approximately once to twice a month, asking our parents or sponsors to join us for some sessions and just our confirmandi for others. Our confirmandi are asked to attend four youth ministry sessions per year (Wednesday for High School and Thursday for Jr. High), and also participate in four service opportunities per year.
8th grade students at St. Thomas School complete Confirmation I in their religion class. Please register your 9th grader for Confirmation II.
Registration is now open. Use the link below to register.

Your child will hear a lot of things about the Sacrament of Confirmation over their two years of prep…some will guide their head (knowledge) and others are more about their heart (experience). Our fervent hope is that they not just learn about Jesus and His church, but know Him personally.
During your child’s preparation, they’ll explore their faith through group activities, retreats, inspiring talks, service, music, prayer, and the sacraments. They will grow in friendship, inspiring each other to grow in holiness and discipleship

This is an easy way to keep track of your service hours. Our Confirmandi are asked to participate in 4 activities per year. A chance to get outside of themselves, serve others, and reflect on how it relates to and makes their faith better!
