• The Preparation:
• Candidates must be in 7th grade or older
• Classes meet twice a month on Sundays 12noon-1:30pm
• There is a required retreat  Fri Oct 13-Sun Oct 15th.
• Confirmation will be in late January or early February 2024.
• You must provide a copy of your Baptism Certificate if the candidate was not baptized at Holy Innocents.
• The sponsor must be a fully initiated Catholic which means they are Baptized, had First Communion and are Confirmed.

What is the Cost of the Preparation?

While we do not charge for the celebration of sacraments, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds, we do ask for a financial fee of $165 per candidate ($185 for outside of parish) this covers, textbook, a journal, supplies and the retreat.

• You can pay the fee in three installments of $55 each The first installment is due upon registration at the orientation meeting. The second installment by the retreat and the third installment is due by December 3rd.
• If you are out of parish, you will need the full payment by the retreat and you will need a letter from your own pastor giving you permission to prepare and celebrate your confirmation at Holy Innocents.
