Confirmation

OVERVIEW

Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation happens during a student’s sophomore year in high school in the Diocese of Richmond.  A student wishing to be Confirmed must be enrolled in a faith formation program, which at Incarnation is Life Teen.  The student must also participate in the Confirmation preparation curriculum, which is separate and distinct from Life Teen (see details below).
