Children's Faith Formation (CFF)

St. Ignatius Pilgrims is a Pre-K through 8th grade children’s faith formation program that focuses on forming students to develop a personal relationship with God, an emerging sense of authentic self, and an orientation toward service with a heart for justice through Ignatian pedagogy. Our program includes First Holy Communion and Confirmation preparation.

Confirmation

Preparing to receive Confirmation is a time of reflection on one’s faith. This allows the person to better understand, and take more responsibility for his or her relationship with God. At St. Ignatius Parish, Confirmation is a two-year program of preparation with the Sacrament received during 8th grade.

Confirmation for Adults

Baptized Roman Catholics who have not received the sacrament of Confirmation are strongly encouraged to do so. The path depends upon one’s prior catechesis or instruction.
