Confirmation Prep

7th-8th grade

A reaffirmation of your baptism, it is your opportunity and desire to say “yes” to Christ to live out your Catholic faith. Confirmation in the Diocese of Rochester is a two-year process. In an effort to make things easier on families schedules, we utilize the Middle School Youth Group for this preparation.

Lent

Each year during Lent, families, youth and teens from our parish attend a Parish Retreat on the grounds of Camp Casowasco. Families stay in one of the cabins and teens and chaperones stay in another cabin. A facilitator from the parish leads talks, activites and prayer services. Reconciliation and Mass is offered in the chapel. For more information, contact Rich at [email protected].
