Confirmation 2022-23

Confirmation at St. Jude celebrates the Holy Spirit working in the hearts of young people. The Confirmation process is a time of discernment for our teens to explore, challenge, grow and eventually take ownership of the Catholic Faith. The process involves not only the teens, but the whole family and entire parish community. Confirmation preparation at St. Jude is a two year process that may be started in the 9^th-11^th grade.

Registration for the 2022-2023 Confirmation Preparation Classes has closed. If you were hoping to enroll your child in the program, please contact Francis Nottingham at [email protected]
