Students in Confirmation preparation are expected to participate in our Sunday night youth group. The students who will celebrate Confirmation in April 2021 will begin preparation in the fall of 2020, at the start of their sophomore year. They will be expected to attend 5 of the 6 youth group nights and all Confirmation preparation nights.
There will be a one-day retreat held in February. More information will be published soon.
The preparation fee for the entire confirmation preparation process is $80. This fee covers the nightly expenses, our one-day retreat in the fall and expenses related to the celebration of the sacrament. This fee should be paid prior to the start of preparation.
During a preparation night in the fall our students will participate in a community service project. This opportunity with vary each year.
This year's service project is scheduled for Thursday, October 17th. We will prepare meals to be frozen for the Ronald McDonald House.
In December we will sponsor a Franklin Township Mary Meier Christmas Family.
If you have a service project idea you would like to suggest, please contact Maureen Hutt at mhutt@nativityindy.org.
All sponsors should meet the following requirements as given to us by the Catholic Church:

Each student has been asked by Archbishop Thompson to write a letter addressed to him prior to celebrating the sacrament. This letter should answer four questions:
