Practicing Catholic: Mass attendance is non-negotiable.  Students and families are expected to attend and participate in Mass every Saturday evening or Sunday Mass.  Students are to sign-in at Holy Trinity Catholic Church following Mass.  Students who *occassionally attend Mass elsewhere must return with a bulletin.  Confirmation students are expected to participate in Holy Week: Stations of The Cross, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, Easter Sunday. **Families plan accordingly.

Christ & Me:  Perform an examination of conscience, seek reconciliation.    We invite students to spend time with the Eucharistic Face of Christ.  Students can do this Apostolic work by signing up for First Saturday Adoration or Monday evenings 6-8pm.  Students are to log the times in their log. **See Student Handbook. Adoration minimum requirement a year is three (3) hours.

Class attendance:  Students are permited Three (3) absences between start of class and the last class.  Students are required to complete make up work.  Video links are sent out to students who missed class.  It is the student's responsibility to reach out to the Confirmation Teacher for the link.  Students who do not meet the class attendance/mass attendance requirements may be delayed for Confirmation until the student and family can prioritize the preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. 

Year 2 Transfer Students:  Students must provide a letter of completion from the Catholic church where the first year of preparation was successfully completed.  Letter must denote curriculum used, class and mass attendance was met to the satisifaction of the director/pastor.  Please indicate the ministry your student served in at the previous church.

Students must successfully attend Confirmation Retreat & complete their Saint Project within year two (2) of Confirmation Classes.  A date is set and students are to complete and present on that date.

 All Year 1 Confirmation Students are to attend Year 2 Confirmation Mass.  You are expected to serve in a ministry such as but limited to: Hospitality, as a Lector, Gather The Children, CCE, Fundraising Committee, Christmas Nativity Team, Christmas Parade Team, Stations of The Cross Readers, Easter decor/festivities.

 Flex:  We do offer a "Flex Class Model" for students who participate in extra-curricular activities that may complicate attending in-person class *at times.  This plan is not entirely a substitute for attending class in-person.  Permission is required & additional family commitment form signed.  This option is to be discussed with PCL/Pastor/Catechist Melissa Koebcke ahead of enrollment/season.  This option is for young active disciples who have consistently attended CCE prior to Confirmation preparation.   Students will independently complete the missed class videos/workbook (up to 7 classes).  Once completed, the mastery report is sent to the catechist.  If the class is not sucessfully completed student will repeat the session.  Again, the flex model is for students and families who are living out the Catholic rhythm of life.  Attending Mass at HTCC, serving in ministries, attending in-person class but on occassion must travel/attend to extra-curricular activities. 

"It is through (Sacrament of Confirmation) it,  The Lord confirms us with the gift of His Holy Spirit thus enabling us to do Christ's work.  Throughout the ages the ascended Jesus sends down His Spirit for the transformation of the souls & transfiguration of the world."   ~Bishop Robert Barron

Serve your church...change the world.  Staying the course that The Holy Spirit has traced out for you.
Confirmation is only the beginning...we are called to order life in such a way as to remain active disciples.
