Welcome to the Confirmation Preparation Process for youth at the Catholic Parishes of Arlington, where our mission is to “form loving disciples who will change the world.” Over the course of the process, we will journey together and explore and enrich our faith by following Christ and being open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation is not just a catechetical program where we instill knowledge in the minds of young Catholics. It is a process where young people experience God in their lives through the signs, symbols, rituals, and Sacraments of the Church. By our Baptism, we are all called to be disciples of Christ in our world. The Sacrament of Confirmation is an extension of our Baptism and First Communion, where we realize the gifts that the Holy Spirit has instilled in us and we go forth and use those gifts for the glory of God, however we may be called to that.
At CPARL the Confirmation Preparation Process is a 2-year process for ALL young people (in public, private, or Catholic school, or homeschool) and is open to young people in grades 6 - 12.
