Confirmation I
For Confirmation I, we offer two retreats, one in the fall and one in the spring. Please head to the Confirmation 1 page for details and registion.
-
8th Grade
In 8th Grade, the youth have the chance to go on their first retreat with Christ the Redeemer Youth Ministry. The retreat is held at Christ the Redeemer, we do not travel anywhere. It is a two-day Retreat packed with fun, games, talks, and prayer. This retreat will run from Saturday morning until Sunday around noon. This retreat is also an overnight retreat! It is a great opportunity for the youth to get more acquainted with their small groups in addition to growing in the community of other youth their age. We have two options to choose from and will close them when they're full.
Please visit the 8th grade page for registration. -
Confirmation Sponsors
Our Confirmation Sponsor retreat registration can be found on the Confirmation Sponsor page. This one is live, free, and accepting registrations. -
Confirmation II
We have 1 retreat for Confirmation II in January. If your child is unable to make this retreat, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can provide you with a list of other Confirmation-specific retreats in the Archdiocese. See the Confirmation II page for more information.

Adult Volunteers
These retreats cannot happen without enough adults on both the Retreat Team and as Chaperones. Please consider experiencing this retreat with your child. Adults do not need to pay for retreat but we use chaperones to ensure that students are safe and happy over the weekend. All adults must go through Safe Environment online training in order to attend. Please read some feedback from some parents who have come as chaperones in the past:
“Before going on the retreat I was not looking forward to the weekend. I volunteered because my daughter was going. I went knowing that I would get little sleep, have to corral students and in general, be the bad guy. At the end, I was delightfully surprised. I was able to nap during the day, read, met some really neat people who attend CtR, learned how to play Mexican Train, and was fed without having to do the cooking, planning or cleaning! What mom would not enjoy that?”- Nesha
“Part of my relationship with God is that I feel I am called to give my time to help with the youth so they can get a strong sense, from an adult, of where their faith journey will take them.
We expect the students to do service events as part of the confirmation process . . . and I do
not feel comfortable asking my own children to be involved in service if I am not willing to do
that myself. So I feel it is important as an adult to set a good example and to lead by example.”- Vernon
“The week of the retreat I kept thinking about how much I did not want to use my whole
weekend at a retreat! Now sitting here on Sunday morning I could not be happier that we
came. My daughter has shown more courage in doing things than I have seen as far as the
Church goes. She has made new friends that I believe she will keep and I have met several
adults from our parish that I look forward to seeing at Church and other functions!”- Mary
