CONFIRMATION

Confirmation is conferred after Baptism to strengthen the blessings of the Holy Spirit, to assist the person to confirm more closely to Christ, to renew the Baptismal promises their parents and Godparents made for them as infants. It calls the person out to the world to accept the word and mission of our Church, and to continue the teachings of Jesus Christ. We use the  "Dynamic Catholic: Decision Point" program (www.dynamiccatholic.com), where we evangelize students in dialogue, not monologue. We present the Gospel in a way that is fresh, intriguing, relevant, compelling and attractive. In a fun, community-building way, we hope to not only share our faith, but to teach and inspire young Catholics to respond and cooperate with God's grace in all circumstances of their daily lives, long after their Confirmation has passed. 

• Confirmation preparation at Ascension requires two years of class study.
• This year (September 2015) we will be piloting an on-line program for both levels on alternating weeks.
• Class attendance will be required just every other week.
• Classes are offered to students in the 7th grade or older (6th grade for students who have been in our program continually since the 1st grade)
• Classes are offered on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m., followed by the 11:00 a.m. Mass, or on Tuesday afternoons from 4:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.
