CONFIRMATION PAPERWORK

ESSAYS

We require both a student and parent entrance essay of at least 200 words. The purpose of the student essay is to help the Confirmation team get an understanding of where the candidate is starting this part of their faith journey so that our Catechists know how to best accompany them on the journey. From the parent essay, the Confirmation team will gain an understanding of where parent's intentions for this sacrament meet those of their child. Please be honest; there is no right or wrong answer. We greatly appreciate anything you have to say from your heart. Sumbit to [email protected]

Student Essay (Please answer both questions, at least 200 words, typed/printed or written)
  1. What type of Christian man or woman do you envision being in the future? (A few things to consider: your gifts and talents; how can you serve God; how do you see yourself actively living your Catholic faith in the future?)
  2. What steps do you need to take to get closer to God at this time in your life? (A few things to consider: your prayer life; your attendance and attention at mass; your friend group & activities; God as a priority in your life).
Parent Essay (Please answer both questions, at least 200 words, typed/printed or written)
  1. What is the hope or vision you have for your child after he or she receives this sacrament? How do you desire to support them in their faith journey?
