Teen Confirmation

Santa Maria's Confirmation program is an approximately two-year program that runs during the academic year (usually September through May). Candidates will have the opportunity for:

See what's up at our twice-monthly-ish Sunday meetings where we'll explore our faith, learn how to talk to each other about what really matters, and dive into what it means to YOU to be a young Catholic! Our curriculum is loosely based on Dynamic Catholic's Decision Point program.

C1 (First-Year Candidates):
5:00pm-7:45pm, starting with Mass in the Church and ending in the Youth Room

C2 (Second-Year Candidates):
3:00pm-6:00pm, starting in the Youth Room and ending with Mass in the Church

Each Sunday we have a Confirmation session, the 5:00pm Mass will be a Youth Mass, where our youth and teens will lead worship with their music, ministry of the Word, and hospitality.

Each year we have at least two overnight retreat opportunities: the C1 Retreat (for first-year candidates) and the C2 Retreat (for second-year candidates). Other options include the Life in Christ Retreat with St. Charles Borromeo and other themed retreats.

These weekends are a great way to disconnect from the craziness of life, spend some time with your friends, and learn how to hang out with Christ. They're totally awesome!

The C1 and C2 Retreats are included in your YM Registration fees. Keep an eye out to make sure you take advantage of all the opportunities you can!

About once a month we'll offer a service opportunity for you to experience the different ways of serving God. We might feed the hungry, play catch with the elderly, or restore native habitats - it just depends on what options arise!
