Eighth Graders: Exploring Confirmation at St. Andrew’s
The sacrament of Confirmation gives young people the opportunity to make a mature commitment to the Christian faith and to be strengthened by the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In Confirmation Class, students will deepen their understanding of the Christian church, reflect on faith in relation to contemporary issues, and engage in spiritual practices.
The 2025–2026 Confirmation Class meets most Sundays from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., beginning in September and concluding in February. It is open to youth aged 13 and older (typically 8th grade). Regular attendance is essential, and students are expected to attend all sessions in order to be confirmed. Classes are not held during holiday weekends or when school is not in session on the following Monday.
Before registering, please contact Sarah Robbins-Cole to discuss whether the program is a good fit for your child this year.
