St Dominic Parish is pleased to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation with our young people on Saturday, October 3, 2026 with Bishop William Wack presiding. The Fall preparation classes begin Tuesday, August 4.

To be eligible for these preparation sessions in 2026, the child or teen must be:

Baptized Catholic
Have already received First Holy Communion
Between the ages of 7-18
Not already confirmed
Attending Mass weekly
Demonstrating signs of readiness

If your son or daughter meets these criteria, we encourage them to join us in preparing for Confirmation!

Candidates may not be dropped off for these sessions. At least one parent is required to attend each week with their candidate. Some weeks you'll be together; some weeks we'll have parent formation separate from student classes.
