CONFIRMATION PROCESS
The Confirmation Process is a 2-year journey in Christian growth based on the belief that
adolescents are at a significant point in their faith journey where they are beginning to establish a personal faith identity. Through sharing of their own journey and interaction with others, the
candidates are assisted in identifying and understanding how God is working in their lives, and
come to a new realization of faith within the context of the parish community. The candidates
have everything to gain and nothing to lose in being a member of the Body of Christ and being
blessed by the Holy Spirit. The following outlines the basics of the Confirmation Program at St.
Luke the Evangelist Church.

• The program meets every other week for two hours. There will be some combined
gatherings for a total of 18 classes per year. Please refer to the calendar.

• Candidates are placed in small faith sharing groups led by an adult and a peer minister who will journey together through the year.

• Attendance is a priority. This program is a spiritual journey. It is not a matter of reading
a book or writing answers on a paper. Sharing is the primary community builder and separates this process from all others. One cannot share if one is not there! It takes commitment not only on the behalf of the candidate but also on part of the parent/guardian.

• We must have a copy of every candidate’s Baptismal Certificate in order for him/her to be confirmed. Do not let time pass! Avoid the added stress in your life and turn it in ASAP!

• As committed parents there are many ways you too can be active in your youth’s faith
journey. For example, you can assist us in transportation for service projects, participate as an aid, help in the office and support scheduled events and fundraisers. As a family united in faith, you will be blessed receive many graces.
