Confirmation at St. Jude celebrates the Holy Spirit working in the hearts of young people. The Confirmation process is a time of discernment for our teens to explore, challenge, grow and eventually take ownership of the Catholic Faith.  The process involves not only the teens, but the whole family and entire parish community. Confirmation preparation at St. Jude is a two year process that may be started in the 9th-11th grade.

• Candidates must attend 1 retreat per year. If a candidate is unable to attend St Jude’s retreat, they must notify Francis and make arrangements to attend another parish’s retreat or one of our retreat options. Candidates may not arrive late, leave early, or be gone for a period of time during the retreat. Transportation is provided.
• Mass is part of a Confirmation night and is required for attendance. Sign in starts at 3:50, at the front doors of the church. Attending a different Mass time will require a bulletin from that Mass to fulfill the requirement.
