Youth Confirmation |
Called Confirmation Program for 7th and 8th grades (formerly named Edge)
Called, our 7th and 8th grade Confirmation program, takes the students out of the classroom and brings them together for a youth group style experience. They meet in one large group for the primary lesson and prayer experience and also in small groups to discuss and make sense of what they learned about our Catholic faith. Our Called Confirmation Program is designed to help our students… • Realize they are beloved children of God with distinct gifts to serve others; • Think critically about their faith and how to integrate it into their daily lives; • Consider Jesus’ invitation to accept his love and become his disciples. The sessions begin after the Sunday 5 p.m. Mass with pizza at 6 p.m. and end with prayer about 7:30 p.m. The programming takes place in the church basement, as well as the church. Students are expected to attend weekly Sunday Mass with their families. One easy option is to attend the 5 p.m. Mass on Sundays and the students can head directly to the Church Hall (lower level) at 6 p.m. for the start of the program. Confirmation is a two year program. In order to be confirmed in the 8th grade, a student must have been enrolled in a Catholic Faith Formation program or a Catholic school in the 7th grade. If your child missed the 7th grade instruction last year, please contact JoEllen at joellen@northbrookcatholic.church to arrange a time for a conversation about options. Qualifications:
