Confirmation I

In Confirmation I students are given the option this year to learn at home or attend Encounter as their next step toward the Sacrament of Confirmation. For students at Christ the Redeemer, the earliest a student may enroll in Confirmation I is 9th grade.  For our students who attend in person, they are assigned a small group. We believe very strongly in small groups. It's in community that we grow together and are known. Our small groups start in middle school and journey together towards Christ and the sacrament of Confirmation. 

It's in small groups the students build trust and are vulnerable in sharing with each other as we examine the Catholic faith to decide if each individual is ready to adopt it as their own. 

We have seen small groups have tremendous impacts on our young people at CtR. Since the focus is growing together as a group, you can't grow with the group if you're not there.  Students are allowed two excused absences each semester or a total of four for the school year. If a child misses a night, they must make up the work by watching the video for that lesson and answering the questions provided. These videos and worksheets are found on Edpuzzle. 

Please see additional requirements in the document below.

Students must attend a retreat for their Confirmation 1 year. They are able to choose between the Fall and Spring Retreats. The dates for the 2020-2021 year are December 12, 2020 and March 6, 2021.  The retreat will run from 9am-9pm. The retreats will be held at Christ the Redeemer and students will primarily be in small groups and social distanced at all times.

Cost is $45. Registration for each retreat closes one week before the retreat at 5pm or when all spots are full.

The cut-off day to register for both retreats is either

1. Once the retreat is full and/or
2. 5pm on the Thursday one week prior to the retreat date

We realize all students are busy and parts of sports teams, extracurriculars, etc. In order to make it fair to every student who is giving up something to be on retreat, students must attend the entirety of the retreat. 

This retreat is not possible unless we have enough chaperones. All Chaperones must be at least 21 years of age and Safe Environment trained. Come with us!             

***The e-mail address you use in registration will be the e-mail address we use to contact you prior to the retreat.***
