Chosen - Your Journey Toward Confirmation

2022 - 2023 TEEN CONFIRMATION REGISTRATION FORM

2022 - 2023 TEEN CONFIRMATION SPONSOR FORM

Chosen offers a powerful approach to teen faith formation that will both catechize and challenge teens to fully embrace a life in Christ. This is a journey toward the Sacrament of Confirmation. The ultimate goal is to win over the hearts of teens and help in the process of making them disciples of Jesus Christ. Available for grades 9 - 12.

Jesus promised the gift of the Holy Spirit and he did so because none of us can ever take on the mission without the Holy Spirit. His mission for each and everyone of us is to go into the world and make disciples.

2022 - 2023 TEEN CONFIRMATION PAYMENT FORM

Confirmation is not a crash course in Catholicism! It is not the time in life a teen is choosing to be Catholic for the rest of their life. It is not deciding or confirming one's faith. It doesn't mean a teen is becoming an adult in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church. It isn't a completion of one's religious education and formation in the faith. 

Our 2022 - 2023 Confirmation Journey is called Chosen and will take place Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. It will begin September 7. The Sacrament of Confirmation will be conferred May 7, 2023.

*Ascension Press Chosen for Confirmation as a boilerplate resource
* St. Thomas the Apostle’s Confirmation Team meeting will be held Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 8:15 PM.
* Twenty five sessions

Bishop Edward Weisenburger anointed twenty-eight of our teens, as he said "Receive the Holy Spirit."  

The Sacrament of Confirmation was administered Sunday, May 5, 2022. Along with them were seven teens from St. Odilia Parish, as well as thirteen adults from St. Thomas the Apostle. Let us as a parish faith community pray collectively, that they be enriched with the Holy Spirit, and that their hearts and minds be open to embrace the gifts of Wisdom, Understanding, Council, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, & Fear of the Lord.

Lord, send out Your Spirit to touch the hearts of those teens recently Confirmed, may they believe in You and in Jesus whom You sent.
Look kindly on them and may they listen to Your voice. Open their hearts to Your Spirit and bring to fulfilment the good work that You have begun in them.
Lord, let us all appreciate what is holy in others, and to be patient with what we do not understand. Please deepen our faith in the Gospel and help us to pass it on by our example. We pray that You will continue to guide us and sustain us.
