What criterion must I fulfill to be confirmed?
- Begin with an interview with the Coordinator of Sacramental Prep, at St. Augustine.
- Commit to full participation in all meetings, assignments and activities as listed on the schedule (see schedule link on left tab).
- By November 1, 2012, submit name of person you choose as your Confirmation Sponsor. Information on choosing the best sponsor for you is available at the following link on the tab bar to the left.

Another Option to consider...
In addition to this program there is also the RCIA, which you can learn more about by contacting the RCIA Coordinator. The RCIA would be an excellent program if you feel you have minimal to no background in the Roman Catholic faith, or have not attended Mass in a long time. As opposed to the RCIA, this Confirmation Program is designed for adults who have been Baptized in the Catholic Church, received First Communion, and who are participating in Sunday Mass, but somewhere along the line did not receive Confirmation.
Is there a fee for the Confirmation Program?
Access to the sacraments is a fundamental right of all Catholics; therefore, there is no mandated fee for the program. Costs are covered by your donations to the regular collections on Sundays.
