Your Journey to Confirmation
What is CHOSEN?
CHOSEN: Your Journey to Confirmation, is designed for students who are in 8th -12th grade. Like all Sacraments, there is not a correct age or time to receive a Sacrament but there is some preparation that needs to complete before taking on the responsibility that comes with the Sacrament. Here at St. Patrick’s, we do require students to be at least in the 8th grade before they begin preparing for Confirmation, but the program is open to anyone in the 8th – 12th grades. Chosen, 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 as they prepare to receive this final Sacrament of Initiation.

How do we work
Classes this year will be offered on Monday evenings from 6:30-8:00 pm. We will begin the first week of October and run through May of 2024.
Each week students can expect to dive into a different topic of the Catholic faith with both dynamic video content and peer discussions. The material will take young people on a journey through the entire Catholic faith in all its richness and vitality.
