Confirmation

Preparation for the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation should be seen as a component of the ongoing catechesis and faith development of the candidates.

Confirmation is a typically a two year process in the Diocese of San Diego. First year confirmation preparation takes place for one hour on one Sunday morning per month and within the High School 707 Youth Group. Second year confirmation preparation takes place on one Sunday morning per month, within 707, and includes five immediate preparation classes. During these two years, candidates will also go on retreats, become involved and parish life, and deepen their personal relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Confirmation candidates should be registered at the start of their freshman year of high school to ensure that they are ready to be confirmed at the end of their sophomore year of high school.
