We are offering two retreats for our Confirmation students this year. The first retreat is a day retreat offered in October. The second retreat is a weekend retreat and it is offered in February.

As part of the sacramental preparation process each student is required to attend at least ONE of the two retreats.

Please see below for more information about the two retreats this year.

On Saturday, October 1st all Confirmation students are invited to participate in a day trip to Nashville, TN for the Holy Fire Conference.

At Holy Fire, young people are invited and challenged to embrace their baptismal call and the powerful, relevant gospel of Jesus through talks by dynamic speakers, witnessing by peers, inspirational praise and worship, and rich experiences of the Eucharist through adoration and Mass. Holy Fire has reached more than 34,000 middle school youth through events hosted in the Chicago, Great Lakes, Nashville, and South Texas regions.

The curriculum we use for Confirmation prepartion is called Chosen by Ascension Press.

Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation takes young people on a journey through the entire Catholic faith in all its richness and vitality.  Teens will be captivated by the story, from Creation all the way through salvation history, and they will come to see how the sacraments, prayer, and discipleship are the keys to a happy life.  The goal of this 24-lesson program is nothing short of winning over the hearts of teens and making them disciples of Christ. 

Chosen’s carefully designed methodology features highly effective and engaging material conveyed through videos, student workbooks, and classroom experience.  Featuring twelve of the top youth experts in the Church today and filmed in more than 50 locations.
