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!
