Confirmation

OLGC celebrates the Sacrament of Holy Confirmation as a two-year process with the formation process typically beginning in 5^th grade and the Sacrament taking place in the 6^th grade during year 2.

Formation: Our process incorporates Confirmation-specific lessons for home study, small group discussions, opportunities candidate and sponsor relationship-building, retreats for candidates that include parents and sponsors, community service, and more!

Our Aim: To support families by providing an in-depth dive into the Sacrament of Confirmation to aid in continued faith-building and discussions at home. We also desire to support middle schoolers by educating and empowering them to live the life of mission that God intends them to live, to understand how the sealing of their soul and gift of the Holy Spirit at Confirmation equips them to serve Christ as His disciples in the world.
