Your Confirmation Journey Begins Here.
We are returning to Confirmation Preparation and Sacraments occurring in the student’s junior year.
- Whether you registered and began your Confirmation Sacrament Preparation in 10th grade or registering in 11th or 12th grade, you will receive all the information you need in order to receive the Sacrament.
Prerequisites for registration:
- Teens must complete one year of Faith Formation, either here at SJV, or at a Catholic School, and must reach an attendance rate of at least 70% during their 10th and 11th grade years.
- Teens must have received the Sacraments of Baptism, First Reconciliation, and First Eucharist.
Meet the prerequisites for the Sacrament.

- Teens must complete one year of Faith Formation, either here at SJV or at a Catholic School and reach an attendance rate of at least 70% during their 10th and 11th grade year.
- Teens must have received the Sacraments of Baptism, First Reconciliation, and First Eucharist.
We require liturgical service through a teen’s Confirmation journey.
- We have found that most teens are already involved in some form of community service. We do not wish to double or triple the “number of hours required” for a teen to serve in a given year.
- Teens will sign up for a liturgical service during the Mass they normally attend as Altar Servers, Choir Members, Greeters, or Children’s Liturgy Assistants. Any other parish or liturgical service must be approved by Gail Arriola or Cathy Null.
- Teens will serve liturgically 12 times in a calendar year (an average of once a month).
- Catholic School Teens are encouraged to join Faith Formation, regardless of their existing Catholic education. This is because Faith Formation is not just about education, but it is also about building a deeper relationship with God and a meaningful community with other teens from our parish.
- Although highly encouraged, Faith Formation attendance is not required for Catholic School teens.
- Catholic School retreats do not fulfill the retreat requirement for Confirmation preparation, as Sacrament preparation is in the purview of the Parish by Archdioscean guidelines.
Yes! Date is to be determined!
