Confirmation Preparation at Saint Kateri

Bishop Sweeney has granted Saint Kateri Parish permission to lower the age of receiving Confirmation to Grade 8.    Confirmation Preparation is a two-year process, starting in the 7th Grade.

FOR ST. KATERI  STUDENTS, GRADES  7, 8, 9, 10:
Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation earlier will enable students to participate more fully in our SK Parish Community at an earlier age.  Provisions have been made to have Grades 9 and 10 also confirmed here at Saint Kateri.  We trust that this change will greatly benefit the young people and families of our parish. 

We encourage your teens to continue to join us for Middle School and High School Events at our parish as they become more available.  For example: 

• we are planning monthly Middle School Events!  Please see KateriConnections on this website  and on their Facebook Page for more details.
• we are  preparing our High School Students and young adults for participating in the World Youth Jubilee in Rome, Italy in 2025, and the next World Youth Day in Seoul, Korea in 2027!  Please contact the leaders of KateriConnections for more details.
• Also, join us for the Bishop's Mass and Teen Witnesses.  As we learn about new dates, we will advertise here and via email. Contact Cheryl Wallace, DRE, for more details and to sign up!

If you have not done so already, please register your family in our 2023-2024 Faith Formation Program, thereby registering your Grade 7, 8, 9, and 10 teen for Confirmation Preparation at Saint Kateri.  This process involves submitting the SK Sacrament of Confirmation Documents (below).    There is a Faith Formation tuition charge for each year of the two years, and there is a Sacramental Fee charged in the year that your child is Confirmed.

FOR POPE JOHN XXIII STUDENTS, GRADES 8, 9, 10:
Pope John Students in Grades 8, 9, and 10, who are SK parishioners must still register for Confirmation at Saint Kateri in order to receive Confirmation.  YOUR CONFIRMATION MASS WILL BE CELEBRATED HERE AT YOUR PARISH. 


If you have not done so already, please register your family in our 2023-2024 Mass-based Faith Formation Program, thereby registering your Pope John Student for Confirmation at Saint Kateri and submit the SK Sacrament of Confirmation Documents (below) .  Pope John Students receive Confirmation Preparation at their school, so there is no tuition charge, but only a Sacramental Fee charged for your Pope John Student.
