Students who are baptized, have celebrated First Penance and First Communion and are presently registered in the seventh grade faith formation program or seventh grade at St. Augustine School will be invited to begin preparation for Confirmation. As a general rule, the preparation for the sacrament is a two year program. Sponsors for Confirmation must be over the age of 16, fully initiated, active and registered in a catholic parish and, if married, married in the Catholic Church. They re asked to verify these requirements on a written form signed by their Catholic parish Pastor or Pastor's delegate. Parents are not allowed to be a sponsor for their own child.
