Confirmation Program
Welcome to the Confirmation Program. Our program is unique, as our students meet mostly mornings and a few evenings. Our program is filled with service opportunities. Our students are required to earn 25 service hours prior to Confirmation. Our program (as per the Hartford Archdiocese) is a 2-year program, regardless of what high school your student attends. Our classes meet 2-3 times a month from 9:30-10:30 am with a few exceptions.
