At St Peter Parish, our Confirmation program is designed to strengthen each candidate’s unique gifts as they grow closer to Jesus, stronger in their knowledge of our Catholic faith, and put purpose to their innate discipleship through intellectual, emotional and spiritual connectivity using the power of the Holy Spirit as our guide.
"…that their hearts may be encouraged as they are brought together in love, to have all the richness of fully assured understanding, for the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” - Col 2, 2-3
This year, many of our students reported that they have not gone to confession in over a year and some since their first confession. Please take this opportunity to take your children with you to confession. If its been awhile, we have MANY resources to help you: ASK us! All students will need to go to Confession before they are confirmed.

These videos both speak to the power of this spiritually nourishing sacrament. As this is the final sacrament of initiation of the Church, we ask that you prayerfully consider that you are ready….talk to those you love about it & your pastor or youth minister too. Let us know how we can support you in this empowering set along your journey of faith.
