All 8th graders are invited to be part of the St. Edward's Confirmation Program. Registration is available here.
Students not in Catholic school are expected to attend all of the weekly classes on Tuesdays, 6:30-8:10 p.m., starting on September 20 and ending on May 17. Catholic school students are expected to attend the special events listed below, as well as monthly "faith sharing" Tuesday evenings and an evening of adoration/confession in Advent and Lent.
Preparation for confirmation also includes choosing a sponsor and confirmation saint, participating in the saint fair, completing three assessments about the basics of the faith, and completing a 15-minute interview with Fr. Berard. More information on all of these will be given to confirmation parents.
Teenagers (older than eighth grade) who need to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation should contact youth minister Karen Italiano: youth@stedwardbowie.com
