Confirmation
Welcome!
The sacrament of Confirmation is all about choices. When we choose to be confirmed, we choose to own the baptismal promises that - for most of us - our parents made for us when we were still in diapers. We choose to learn how to grow our faith in God. We choose to learn about our Catholic faith. We choose to claim our spiritual life journey for ourselves and the for the good of the world. We choose faith! Choosing to be confirmed is an important decision. We believe teens in our parish deserve special time and space to discern what path to take as young adults and how faith fits into this path.
We are excited to begin a new year of preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation here at St. Matthew’s! Our 2023-2024 begins with a parent and teen meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 7:00pm. More information will be provided at the parent meeting.
We meet for prep sessions on Sunday evenings, 6:30-8:00pm, once a month. Each session is a mix of fun icebreakers and deep learning about growing our relationship with God and learning about our Catholic faith.
We are excited to meet your teen and help them discover the joy and compassion of their loving God! If you have any questions, please contact Chrisi Young, Pastoral Associate for Faith Development Grades 6-12 at stmattsyoung@gmail.com or 518-765-2805.
