This year our Confirmation program will run in semesters, Fall (for Grade 10) & Spring (for Grade 9).
Our 9th graders will focus on discipleship and participate in service opportunities during the Fall semester and attend academic sessions beginning in February 2025, receiving the sacrament of Confirmation in April 2025.
Our 10th graders will attend academic sessions and participate in service during the Fall semester, receiving the sacrament of Confirmation in January of 2025.
Our new Confirmation team is excited to meet with each candidate and their parent(s) during the program kick-off September 8th Parent & Candidate meeting! Come meet the new team and learn how Walpole Catholic Collaborative is responding to the new mandates set forth by the Archdiocese of Boston regarding lowering the age of eligibility for Confirmation from high school to middle school.
