Confirmation

St. Margaret Mary’s uses a three-year preparation process for Confirmation which engages young men and women through catechetical formation, according to the policies of the Diocese of Charlotte. A three-year process has the advantage of allowing catechists, sponsors, and parents to draw our youth closer to Christ as they prepare for full initiation into the Church through Confirmation. The three-year preparation process ordinarily begins after a child's completion of their fifth grade year of Faith Formation, and consists in a period of remote preparation (catechetical instruction) and proximate preparation (spiritual and liturgical preparation for the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation). This process takes place within our Faith Formation Program.
