Requirements for Confirmation

 


  • 💦Your child must be Baptized in the Catholic Church.  If your child is baptized in another Christian faith, they must work with the Director of Faith Formation, Mrs. Colleen Gerke, to make a Profession of Faith in the Catholic Church.  (If unbaptized, they must work with Colleen Gerke 
    on becoming a disciple of Jesus in the Catholic tradition and will celebrate Confirmation at a future Easter Vigil Mass and be Confirmed at a later date.)

  • 🎂. Your child must be at least 12 years old on or before November 4, 2020 (the date of Confirmation). 


  • You must complete a St. Clement Confirmation Information Form: click here for English or here for Spanish: haga clic aquí.  It provides all the information needed to record the Confirmation at St. Clement.  Your child will appreciate the canonical records when they decide to marry or become a priest, deacon, religious brother, or sister. 


  • ⛪ Your child must have a desire to be an active member of the Catholic Church and be participating in religious education through St. Clement School, their Catholic School, or a program provided by the Director of Faith Formation.


  • 🙏 Your child is to regularly attend Sunday (Saturday) Mass. 


    🎇 Your child is to participate in the NET Retreat on Tuesday, September 29, 2020 from 8:30 am - 2:00 pm.  Care will be taken to assure all wear masks and maintain the required social distancing.  If you have concerns, please contact the Director of Faith Formation, Colleen Gerke, at (513)641-3176 ext. 163 or cgerke@stcschool.org, cgerke@stclementcincinnati.org.
