Confirmation Prep

Flip to read more

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.

Parish Youth & Family Retreat

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 by Father Chumo. For information on Camp Casowasco see the link.
