Confirmation
Confirmation is a year-long formation program that prepares the candidate to worthily receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Spring of 2027.
Teens will be dual enrolled in Confirmation and Young Church on Sundays. Students at POP Catholic School will receive the bulk of their “Sunday Class formation” in their 8th Grade Religion class, but will still participate in the milestone nights, service events, and the retreat.
Milestone Nights are intended to gather all Confirmation candidates (and their sponsors, if desired) to discuss specific Truths and logistics in preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. These will happen at the same time as Young Church, just gathered in a different space.
Note: While POP Catholic School students are highly encouraged to attend Young Church, they are not required. However, they are expected to attend the 5 Milestone nights.
Confirmation Milestone Nights:
October 4, 2026
November 8, 2026
January 24, 2027
March 21, 2027
April 25, 2027
6:00-7:30 p.m.
