St. Angela Merici Catholic Church has implemented a 2-year process to prepare candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation. In accordance with Archdiocesan guidelines, candidates who request Confirmation at St. Angela Merici must have at least one year prior preparation in Life Teen, CCE, or Catholic school and then complete a year of immediate preparation before receiving the sacrament. 

Age of Candidate: The ninth, tenth or eleventh grades (15-17 years) seem to be an appropriate age for the reception of the Sacrament. Setting an arbitrary, unbending age for Confirmation can be a disservice to those who are not yet able to make any kind of faith commitment. People do not mature and develop at the same rate. Not all young persons in a particular grade will be at the same stage in moral, faith or intellectual development. Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is most important. Extensive catechesis is necessary and distinct from the regular religious education programs. At least one school year is to be devoted to this special catechesis. (BL 3/2/87)
