Teens Attending Public High School
In Order to be eligible for Confirmation in the Diocese of Austin, teens must maintain healthy attendance in high school ministry at a parish or school for a minumum of 2 years. For that reason, Confirmation is normally celebrated during the Spring Semester of 10th Grade.
Teens Attending Catholic High School
At St. Helen, our policy is the following: 1st Year is covered by Theology in their high school classrooms and 2nd Year MUST be completed in the Parish Setting through the Youth Ministry.
Confirmation Classes
Confirmation classes are held during the Spring Semester leading up to Confirmation. For the 2022-23 school year, Confirmation classes will begin February 1st and will be held every Wednesday from 6:30-8 PM.
