Confirmation Checklist Page

Both Adult and Youth learners will use the same above checklist for enrollment into catechesis and Sacramental preparation although adult learners may be subject to a different time schedule.:

Before Registering for Catechism:
  1. Family/Adult Learner interviews with Pastor.
When Registering, items to be turned in together:
  1. Application Form
  2. Birth Certificate (copy)
  3. Baptismal Certificate (copy)
  4. First Communion Certificate (copy)
​During 1st Year, items to be turned in together:
  1. Sponsor/Godparent Form completed 
  2. Sponsor/Godparent Certificate (Confirmation if single, Catholic Marriage Certificate if married)
  3. Sponsor/Godparent Letter from Pastor (if Sponsor/Godparent is from outside our parish)​
​During 2nd Year:
  1. Saint Name 
  2. Letter to the Bishop    (scroll down to yellow for an outline)

 Sponsor/Godparent Form 

Please be mindful that if Sponsors need to request certificates from churches, it may take a few weeks for the request to be processed.
Please note that the Sponsor completes the top portion of the Godparent/Sponsor Form (See green at right).  The Pastor at Sponsor/Godparent's church completes the bottom part known as the Letter from the Pastor (See blue at right) and affixes the parish seal before it is returned to our parish office.  It is the same on both the English and Spanish forms.
