Confirmation at St. Therese

IMG_5159.jpg

 Overview

Welcome to the St. Therese Confirmation Program! We are dedicated to helping your son or daughter grow in their relationship with Jesus and love for His Church as they prepare for this holy sacrament. Through the Confirmation process, we will…

  • Teach your youth about Christ, His Church, and His sacraments

  • Lead them to encounter Christ through worship and the sacraments and deepen their relationship with Him

  • Challenge them to discover their God-given gifts and the vocations to which God calls them

  • Give them vital tools to deepen their life of prayer

  • Introduce them to a vision for a full life in Christ

  • Form them into a community of disciples prepared for Jesus' mission in the world

We pray that through preparation for the reception of Confirmation, your son or daughter will find a home and purpose in the Church as they are conformed to Jesus' heart!

If you have any questions, please contact James Gilbert (jgilbert@st-therese.org or 952-261-0566) for more information.
