Confirmation Process in TransitionWe are in the process of moving our confirmation age down to 8th grade and so are having two classes confirmed per year. This process will be complete in the fall of 2023 when all students currently in 7th and 8th grade for the 2022-2023 academic year will be confirmed in two separate Masses (current 8th graders who are ready will be confirmed Sunday Sep. 24, 2023; current 7th graders will be confirmed Sunday Oct. 1, 2023). Thus in the 2022-2023 academic year, the only class that will be prepping for confirmation will be the 7th grade (and anyone above that age who still needs confirmation).
Classes are held Wednesday evenings at Mater Dei School, Nativity Center, 6:45 to 8:00.
