At St. Robert of Newminster Parish, and within the Diocese of Grand Rapids, sacramental prep for Confirmation occurs during 8th grade. All students enrolled in 8th grade formation will automatically receive sacrament prep.
For the 2025-2026 Faith Formation year, we will be using “Chosen: Your Journey to Confirmation” to prepare our Confirmandi. “Chosen: Your Journey to Confirmation” has been used by thousands of parishes to present the Catholic faith to teens in a way that keeps their attention as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Sessions will be offered at the following times:
- Tuesdays, 5:00 to 6:15 p.m.
- Wednesdays, 5:0.0 to :15 p.m. OR 6:45 to 8:00 p.m.
- A Family Dinner will be offered before the Wednesday evening session.
