Confirmation Registration is Open for Parish Family 14!
Our confirmation program will be hosted at St. John this year; all youth in grades 7 and up are welcome. Participants must be baptized Catholics. We will start our classes in person, in November 2025, with Confirmation scheduled for February 2026. Classes meet after the 8:30am mass.

The sacrament of Confirmation is the third of the sacraments of initiation (the others are Baptism and Eucharist). For Catholics, Confirmation is the sacrament that signifies a deepening of one’s baptismal commitment and a strengthening of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, individuals confirm their faith and become full, active members of the Church. Once confirmed, youth may participate in the liturgy as Extraordinary Ministers of Communion, Lectors and Sacristans.

Is Your Child Interested in Becoming Catholic?
Do your kids have questions about the Catholic faith? Are they from another faith tradition but feel at home in our Parish Family? Do you have kids over 7 years old who haven’t been baptized? Were they baptized Catholic but want to learn more?
If any of these describe your situation, the OCIC (Order of Christian Initiation of Children) might be the perfect opportunity for your family to grow in faith. Come to an inquiry session and learn more about how the OCIC can help your child grow in faith and connection with our parish community. Click here for more details: https://bit.ly/OCIC2025
