Confirmation for the 2020-2021 school year:
Please note that we are still figuring out a plan for Confirmation for this coming year. We usually begin in person classes in September but due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, we are working to come up with an alternate plan.
Please feel free to email our Confirmation staff to have your name and email put on a list to be notified when registration has come out for this year.
Thank you for your patience as we work to help MQP teens grow in faith while also staying safe!

Thank you for your interest in the Sacrament of Confirmation. According to the Archdiocese of Seattle, teens between the ages of 11 and 18 are now eligible to begin the process. The Archbishop has asked parishes to begin offering Confirmation for youth as young as 7th grade. MQP will implement this by offering Confirmation to 7-12th grade youth for the 2020-2021 year. Confirmation is the third Sacrament of Initiation (Baptism and Eucharist are the other two). To be confirmed, a candidate must go through a two-year process.
Year One (the Formation Period): The candidate is enrolled and actively participates in at least one of the following: Catholic fellowship, Catholic schooling, parish faith formation and youth ministry, or a ministry of the parish. For many teens at Mary, Queen of Peace, this means involvement with our middle school or high school youth ministry program.
Year Two (the Sacramental Period): Candidates will attend Confirmation classes, service projects, retreats, and grow in their faith while still participating as did in Year One.
