confirmation at the Church of St. timothy
The Church of St. Timothy celebrates the sacrament of Confirmation each spring. Our young people go through one year of preparation for this sacrament of initiation as they deepen in the lifelong journey of growing in Catholic faith.
Candidates for Confirmation will meet with at least one parent and/or their sponsor on the five scheduled Wednesday evenings, 6:30-7:45 p.m. In addition, candidates will participate in a day-long retreat on-site at the Church of St. Timothy - parents and sponsors are not required at the retreat, but a few adults will be needed as additional chaperones and meal/snack support.
