Throughout the Confirmation process, our goal is to provide a real and living encounter with the Lord Jesus and His Holy Catholic Church. The Confirmation program at Pax Christi is a two year program. Typically, year one of Confirmation preparation begins in the fall of the 9th grade year and year two runs through the spring of the 10th grade year. Students are typically Confirmed in 10th grade after completing the two years of preparation.
Utilizing Chosen and YDisciple, each student is led into a deeper relationship with Christ through a small group relationship and is equipped to make an adult decision to choose (or not choose) the Sacrament of Confirmation. This Sacrament empowers students with the completion of Baptismal grace and the fulness of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as to be living witnesses of Christ Himself. Beyond Confirmation, the graces manifested will propel students into a strengthening in the bond of the Church and Her mission: “...to make disciples of all nations” (Matthew. 28:19), just as the 12 Apostles were commissioned by Jesus in the Gospel. Watch out, world!
