The Confirmation process:
This is not Church School!
It's a process to create a lifestyle to be with you everyday!
We gather together as a community to find a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and how we can become more of an active participant in the life God wants for us.
We do this through conversations, lessons, the Gospel, games, group activities, opening the Bible, participating in parish events, Retreats & more!
Retreats:
Candidates will attend 1 retreat per year! These retreats are required to attend per the L.A. Archdiocese.
Year 1: November 7-Day retreat Additional cost $50
Year 2: Dec.11-13 Overnight retreat in Oak View $300 additional cost.
***Please note that our schedule may change at anytime for any emergency or unforeseen circumstances.
