Teen Preparation will begin in August 2011with a Confirmation Day of Discernment .
Youth and a catholic parent should plan on attending and rsvp 226-3232 with Mr. Drexler. Expectations: Youth do need to be signed up for ongoing religious education and should be attending Mass on a somewhat regular basis. Details will be reviewed at that gathering.

Adult Preparation (for adults being confirmed) will take place separately but the liturgy at the cathedral will include adults and youth being confirmed.



Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

This process is for adults who have not been baptized and may include adults who are looking to complete their initiation into the Catholic faith through Confirmation AND Eucharist. Some adults may have been baptized in another Christian tradition. Most traditions are recognized by the Catholic Church and so baptism typically is not repeated.
For more information contact Sr. Karen or Mike Drexler.


Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
adapted for Children
This process is similar to the above description but may include youth who have not been catechized. Sometimes older youth who have not received Eucharist may be included in this process.
