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: January-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.
