The Sacrament of Confirmation is usually administered to parish teens once per year, in the spring of their 8th grade school year. The preparation program begins in August of their 8th grade school year. If the candidate is not enrolled in St. Paul Catholic School, they must register for and enroll in Family Religious Education classes for sacramental preparation. Family Religious Education enrollment opens in the summer. Registration closes on September 30th. Announcements will be made in the bulletin and from the pulpit when the enrollment period opens.
