Confirmation preparation begins for most candidates in our parish upon entry into seventh grade. Older students needing confirmation are encouraged to enter formation as well. Typically our candidates will be confirmed in late September or early October of their eighth grade year. The current formation classes of confirmation candidates are scheduled to be confirmed on Sunday, September 29, 2024, at Mater Dei Parish's Nativity Church.
