One of the most important events in the life of a Catholic is the day he or she is confirmed. St. William offers a program to specifically help high schoolers prepare well for reception of Confirmation and a life-long commitment to Christ and His Church.
In order for students to begin Confirmation Preparation, they must meet the requirements set forth by the Diocese of Austin:
“In recognizing that faith formation is a lifelong process, a minimum of two years of formal religious education in a parish or Catholic school program is required to immediately precede preparation for Confirmation.”
To receive the sacrament in the spring semester of 10th grade, the student must have regularly attended formation in all of 9th grade and all of 10th grade through to the Confirmation date.
“The sacramental preparation process is supplemental to regular participation in the parish religious education program.”
