We appreciate your understanding and kindly request that you refrain from calling or emailing the parish regarding this matter. We eagerly look forward to welcoming you and your family in our future programs.
Please note that registration opened on October 19th, 2023. We encourage you to follow our social media and sign up for our bulletin so you don't miss out when our next session is available.

***If the need arises, we may look at the possibility of offering a spring Confirmation catch up for those who were not able to register for the winter session. ***
All parents and registered candidates from St. John the Baptist, St. Pius X and St. Peter have been emailed with details for the Confirmation. We will continue emailing others as forms are processed.
At this time we are still processing forms and will reach out to everyone as soon as possible, there is no need to email us.
We also ask that all registered candidates and sponsors arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled Confirmation on their respective dates.
Young people in Grade 8 through to Grade 12 in the 2022-2023 school year are invited to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation. French language Confirmation will take place Fall 2022 and English Language Confirmation will take place in spring of 2023.
READY...
Confirmation is the sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation.
Confirmation preparation is for learning the next steps that will lead to a better you. Preparing for Confirmation is learning how to be a disciple of Christ, because we believe that's the path to a fuller and more fulfilling life. In the Catholic faith, Confirmation is the sacrament that completes baptism by strengthening and sealing the graces bestowed at baptism.
You don't have to do this. It's a choice. It's your choice. You get to do this! At our parish, teens don't enroll in Confirmation... they apply for it.
Fall French language Confirmation will include a parent & candidate kick-off meeting (details forthcoming) in the Fall. The English Language will be in the Spring. This is an opportunity for both teens and parents to hear about the entire experience and ask any questions you may have about preparing for Confirmation.
Wait! Thinking about a sponsor already? Information about choosing a sponsor will be given at the kick-off evening, so please do not ask someone to be your Confirmation sponsor before this meeting.
Candidates will participate in the Kick-off event and a day Retreat. More details after you register. You will have an awesome opportunity to have fun and explore faith with others your own age.
There are two things you need before starting the application...
There are two things you need before starting the application... a profile picture of the candidate (please save the profile photo & baptismal certificate with the candidates first and last name,. E.G. Mary Smith Photo.jpg & Mary Smith Baptism.jpg), and the teen's baptismal certificate.
We recommend you scan or take a photo before beginning the application. If you do not have a copy of the baptismal certificate, please contact the parish of your baptism to obtain a copy before proceeding.
