2023 - 2024 Confirmation Program

Welcome to the St. Patrick Church Confirmation Program! Below are important details about the 2023-2024 Confirmation program and the registration process. Please read before proceeding to registration.

​

Two-Year Program

All Confirmation programs in the Archdiocese of Chicago are required to have 2-years of preparation. At St. Patrick Church, our program starts in the Fall of 8th grade (1st year students), and continues throughout Freshman year (2nd year students). Second year students will get confirmed the Spring of their Freshman year.

​

Class Schedule

Below are links to the “First Year Confirmation Schedule” and “Second Year Confirmation Schedule”. Confirmation classes will take place on average twice a month on Sunday’s from 4:00 – 5:30 pm for both first year and second year students. The first day we will have orientation and explain the procedures we will be following  for the year, and the materials will be distributed. Regular attendance at class are of utmost importance, so please be sure that your child can commit to this time frame before registering.

​
