Confirmation
Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which the baptized Christian expresses a mature commitment to Christ, and receives strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 860)
At Saint Michael, Confirmation classes are available for Youth and Adults. Youth Confirmation is available each school year for students in 8th grade and older. Adult Confirmation preparation is provided by the Saint Michael 101 offering; contact Beth Igoe for additional details.

This class is for our 8th grade students who wish to deepen their commitment to their faith in preparation for confirmation in the fall of 2027. Confirmation is a year-long journey that helps students explore the heart of the Christian faith, grow in their understanding of God, and prepare to make a mature profession of faith in the life of the church. This year’s confirmation process will look a little different, with the confirmation year beginning in the fall and the formal classes and retreat beginning in January. Advanced registration is required for the 2026-2027 class by September 1. If you would like to learn more about our youth confirmation program, contact Samuel Moore.
