The Confirmation program is dependent on the parents’ lived expression of our Catholic faith through the family’s consistent participation in the weekly celebration of the Eucharist and their involvement in Sacred Heart ministries.
We thank the parents for their support in bringing the teens to all the scheduled sessions and events.
