“What is needed today is a Church which knows how to respond to the expectations of young people. Jesus wants to enter into dialogue with them and, through his body, which is the Church, to propose the possibility of a choice, which will require a commitment of their lives. As Jesus with the disciples of Emmaus, so the church must become the traveling companion of young people…” – Pope John Paul II
Confirmation is the sacrament of initiation by which we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit to strengthen us for carrying out Christ’s mission.
In January 2024, the Archdiocese of Boston changed the confirmation age from 10th grade to 8th grade, to achieve the goal of strengthening young people’s ties to the church.
The Youth Confirmation Preparation is a two-year program of study and service, starting in 7th grade. St. Julia uses the curriculum called Chosen, by Ascension Press, for the Confirmation Prep Program (Grades 7/8).
