Confirmation I

Confirmation I is the second step towards the Sacrament of Confirmation. For students at Christ the Redeemer, the earliest a student may enroll in Confirmation I is 9th grade. Every week they will begin the night in the large community of high school students and break open the topic of the night together in their small group. 

It's here the students converse together as a group and examine the Catholic faith to decide if they want to adopt it as their own. 

The Sacrament of Confirmation is very important, so students are allowed two excused absences each semester. If a child misses a night, they must make up the work by watching the video for that lesson and answering the questions on the worksheet. These videos and worksheets are on the Encounter Videos page. Turn in the worksheet at the check-in desk when you arrive at Encounter the following week. Please see additional requirements in the document on the left.

Students must attend a retreat for their Confirmation 1 year. They are able to choose between the Fall and Spring Retreats. Retreat dates for this year are December 1-3, 2017 and April 13-15, 2018.

Cost is $165. Registration for each retreat closes the Thursday two weeks before the retreat or when all spots are full. Fee is non-refundable and non-transferable if you cancel after we've sent our numbers to the camp (generally two weeks prior to the retreat).

We realize all students are busy and parts of sports teams, extra curriculars, 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. Students will ride the bus from CtR to the retreat center and back; parents are not allowed to transport students.

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