High School Formation to include Confirmation Preparation for 10th & 11th grade

Initial Confirmation Interview Signups

High School Sessions for 9th through 11th grade are usually conducted at least two Sundays a month from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. The calendar for the coming year is listed below. Sponsors are only for those preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation – normally 10th and 11th grade for this coming year.

To prepare young people for the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation, St Mark has a process in accordance with the new norms established by the Diocese of Richmond. The formation sessions are incorporated into our High School formation program. Preparation for the Sacrament for this transition year (2010 to 2011) is intended for those young people entering the 10th and 11th grade, but is also open to 12th grade if the sacrament has not yet been celebrated. To begin the formation program, the Candidate should have participated in religious formation the previous year.

Confirmation Candidates will participate in a two and a half day retreat at Triple-R Ranch in January.

Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School students will participate in the parish program to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. This includes participation in the Candidate Confirmation Retreat as the Catholic High Retreat does not replace this St Mark community-building and Confirmation preparing retreat.
