Please read below about Year 1 and Year 2 for Confirmation.
In the Archdiocese of Seattle, 7th - 12th graders are eligible to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. 6th grade students, and older, are eligible to begin their first year of preparation. Ultimately, it is about readiness and a teen beginning preparation when they feel ready (at whatever age that is) to grow in their relationship with Christ and be confirmed. If students don't feel ready prior to beginning their preparation, the hope is that the process of taking classes and being involved in youth ministry will help them grow in their faith and discern if they are ready to be confirmed. Note that if a student goes through both years of preparation, and still does not feel ready to be confirmed, that is okay! It is their choice and we have to trust that perhaps later they'll feel ready to be confirmed. We are pleased to offer Confirmation to both Middle and High school youth here at Mary, Queen of Peace.
We invite you to begin to prepare for Confirmation by participating in our youth ministry program! Students must complete year 1 (a proximate year) of formation before beginning enrolling in year 2 (the immediate formation, or Confirmation specific classes) here at Mary, Queen of Peace. Year 1 is completed by the teen participating in weekly Youth Ministry meetings and events. Year 2 is the year that the teen attends the weekly Confirmation-specific classes. If the teen is unable to participate in youth ministry for Year 1, please contact the Confirmation team. Learn about how to get involved in youth ministry on this website.
