Adult Religious Education
Per the policy of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in regards to the Sacrament of Confirmation: "Parents or Guardians of Confirmation candidates are expected to participate in any meetings or classes required by the parish" and "sponsors should participate in sessions with candidates, and they are expected to participate in sessions specifically designed for sponsors." Our parish provides such programs for both parents and sponsors in the form of Adult Religious Education.
The Adult Religious Education schedule for the 2025-2026 school is being prepared and will be available in early Fall.
For those considering the Youth Confirmation Formation process, the candidate must:
- Be a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior in high school. (8th grade students are eligible to register for Confirmation 1 to begin the formation process)
- Have at least one year of high school level religious education from a parish prior to confirmation class (Confirmation Year 1) and
- Be willing to commit and have the faith readiness to embrace the Roman Catholic Faith Lifestyle.
Candidates from other parishes are welcome to join our classes, with written permission from their parish.

At confirmation we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit and confirm our baptismal promises. Greater awareness of the grace of the Holy Spirit is conferred through the anointing of chrism oil and the laying on of hands by the Bishop.
