Confirmation preparation at SJTW is a 2-year process which begins in 10th grade. Confirmation Candidates receive the Sacrament the spring of 11th grade.
The preparation experience, which we call “gifted” challenges our candidates to discover their own God-given gifts, talents and interests and to use them in their journey of discipleship.
