Year 2 Registration

St. Bernadette’s Youth Confirmation program is a multi-year journey. 
The Confirmation program works in conjunction with High School Faith Formation program.  The student will need to be currently registered in High School Faith Formation and completed the prior year's High School Faith Formation program (typically their Freshman year).

During their second year (typically their Sophomore year) of High School Faith Formation they will begin to take Confirmation specific classes, attend a Confirmation retreat, and complete service to the parish and community; this will will last into their third year (typically their Junior year) of High School Faith Formation.

The Confirmation Mass is held in the fall, historically it has been in November.
