Special family circumstances

Are there any special family circumstances that would be helpful for us to know as we prepare your child for Confirmation?

Confirmation Name and Sponsor

Your son or daughter needs to select a Confirmation name.
Choosing a Confirmation name is an opportunity to find a name that has special meaning to them, a name that will help them in their journey of faith. It is important to choose a saint whose story will inspire them in their life. By choosing a saint’s name, they are asking him or her to pray for them and guide them in a special way.

Confirmation Name *

Each candidate invites an adult to be their sponsor. Choosing a sponsor is a very personal decision and usually this person is very important to them.
It can be their baptismal godparent, a relative, or a close friend whom they admire. The sponsor must be a confirmed practicing Catholic (not a parent though).

Sponsor’s Full Name *

Payment

2024 Enrolment Fee for Confirmation is $150 which covers the cost of workbooks and associated printing of resources, pins, necklaces and certificates.
