Sacramental Preparation: Confirmation

Confirmation Information

Calendars: Youth Ministry Weekly Classes & Sacramental Preparation for Confirmation

• Families must be registered parishioners of St. Louis Church. Children attending public school are expected to be in a parish Faith Formation/Youth Ministry program each school year.
• Regular attendance (100%) is required in all programs.
• St. Louis is a stewardship parish: families make commitments to share their gifts of time, talent and/or treasure. They also make a commitment to regular participation at Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation.

As our children grow in their faith we want to offer them more opportunities to share that faith with others in their faith community and beyond. They are no longer attending weekly Faith Formation classes, but weekly Youth Ministry classes.  They continue to grow in their faith with a deeper understanding. Additionally, all youth registered for Youth Ministry are expected to participate in Youth Group.

Youth Group is an opportunity for teens to share more social experiences with their peers -- faith, food, fellowship, and fun!  Youth Group is open to all parish teens and youth in grades 6-12 are invited to join us for Youth Group. Teens will have the opportunity to participate in service projects, retreat encounters, and social experiences. For more information on Youth Group, click here.
