'26-'27 CALENDAR

CONFIRMATION


Confirmation is our students final sacrament of initiation.

With reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Lord Jesus and His Church, and they are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit to be witnesses (or martyrs) of Christ and the truth of His Gospel.

Our Confirmation Program is a 2 year program for 10th and 11th grade students and we Confirm in the spring of your 11th grade year. We meet about 15 sessions a year. Confirmation will be on Sunday, May 16 at 1 pm at St. Paul’s Church for our ACC. 

Our next retreat (for current 11th grade) will be the weekend of Nov. 21-22, 2026 at Luther Crest

CHILDREN'S LITURGY


We believe it is important for our children to be included in the meaning of the Gospel and the readings at Mass. Many times the Scripture and homily is beyond their comprehension, so this ministry explains the Word of God to them at a level they understand. This ministry happens at the 8:00 am at Our Lady of the Angels, 8:15 am at St. Alexius, and 10:00 am Mass at St. Paul’s.
