Confirmation 2019-2020

 Schedule

 

In the Diocese of Richmond, the Sacrament of Confirmation is received by those that are part of a catechetical program for a minimum of a year prior to entering the preparation program and are to be in the 10th grade of high school.

At St. Jerome, the Life Teen program offered on Sunday evenings is the catechetical program that is offered to high school teens. The confirmation program will be an additional catechetical program offered on Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings. Candidates must attend one Confirmation class a month; the candidate can choose to attend either the Saturday morning workshop or the Sunday morning workshop (in addition to Sunday evening).
All teens are encouraged to become involved in a ministry in parish life. For assistance in choosing a ministry, those on the Life Teen core or Confirmation team can assist.
