youth Confirmation Program

Come, Holy Spirit, Come!!!

We welcome all baptised Christians as candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation, with the understanding they are (or willing to become) intentional disciples of Jesus Christ, who desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit in order to share their faith.  -Fr. Ed

We look forward to walking with you on your Faith journey!

Did you know that youth can now be Confirmed as early as 7th grade?!

Our Teen Confirmation Program is now open for all teens in grades 7-12 during the 2023-24 school year.  

To apply for Confirmation Preparation at St. Stephen the Martyr, you and your teen must be registered parishioners of the parish. If you are not registered members, please click here to join the SSTM family!

This year, Confirmation prep courses will take place one Sunday a month in the Social Hall between 3:00pm-5:00pm. These courses will take place at the same time as EDGE Middle School youth group programs and are mandatory for all teens enrolled in Confirmation prep (including those in high school). 

See the calendar below for all the scheduled Confirmation classes for the 2023-2024 year.

To register your teen into Confirmation prep, you will first need to enroll them in either the EDGE middle school program (grades 6-8) or the Life Teen high school program (grades 9-12). The links to the registration forms can be found at the bottom of this page.

To learn more about and register your middle-schooler in EDGE, click HERE.
To learn more about and register your high-schooler in Life Teen, click HERE.

Both of these forms will include a section asking whether you want to register your teen into Confirmation. After registering, you will receive an email with all the relevant information and forms that will need to be gathered for the Confirmation process shortly thereafter.

For more information, questions, or help with developing a plan for your son's or daughter's Confirmation, please email Michael Joseph at [email protected].

Do you belong to a different parish? If yes, then you may need special permission to participate in Confirmation prep at SSTM. If you are new to our parish, or have other questions, please contact Michael right away. We're happy to help!
