Santa Maria's Confirmation program runs over two years of programming and includes a lot of different parts. Last year, we got a little creative. This year, we're continuing that vibe so you get the best of all worlds! Here are some questions you may have about this year's programming!

See what's up at our twice monthly-ish Sunday Parish Meetings outdoors or in the Youth Room 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!

Last year, we created an all-new Confirmation program called Ascent Confirmation! This year, it's even better as we continue to create new content and fine-tune the program to fit the needs of all of you!
Ascent Confirmation uses the amazing Alludo platform to give teens an incredibly engaging experience of online learning. Ascent Confirmation gives teens the power to explore the topics that are most interesting to them, and partake in some friendly competition. We're going to make learning about the faith exciting, game-like, and nothing like school!
When teens log into the Alludo app, they'll see different topics with tons of optional 5-minute activities, videos, and mini-lessons to choose from - and they earn points for everything they complete! Teens with the most points each week will earn a spot on the leaderboard - making learning feel like a game.
We are currently tentatively planning two options for the overnight retreat for the 2021-2022 Confirmation program year. They are usually scheduled from Fri evening to Sun noon over 3-day weekends to allow an extra day for homework and rest for our teens!
Confirmation Retreat at Mount Hermon: November 12-14, 2021
Life in Christ Retreat at Camp St. Francis: January 21-23, 2022
Our teens usually join us for one overnight per year, but for obvious reasons, 2020-2021 was a little different! We're hoping to pick it back up this year though, because according to the teens, the retreat weekends are always the most popular weekends of our program. :)
