- CONFIRMATION DAY: Sunday May 21st, 2017 – Mass begins promptly at 2pm
All St. Albert's candidates and sponsors must arrive to the Upper Level Parish Center (ULPC) by 1:15pm. The doors to the church open at 1:15. Parents and immediate family for St. Albert candidates will have a section reserved for them in the church. Extended family members are welcome to attend this Mass, but due to limited space, we ask that you please invite them to sit in the alternate sections. The reserved section for parents/immediate family will be filled on a first come first serve basis. We will offer overflow seating in the narthex and upper level, and the Mass will be televised for those in outer seating. Again – all are welcome, but this Mass will be very full, so plan to arrive early!
- Mass Attire: Candidates and sponsors are expected to dress appropriately for this special occasion. Please no jeans, sweatpants/sweatshirts, shorts, or flip-flops! We particularly ask all female candidates AND sponsors to dress modestly for this special day – no low-cut tops, & dresses/skirts of appropriate length.
Thank you to all involved who have helped to make this a special journey for our youth!

________________
Starting in Fall 2016, Confirmation preparation begins during fall of 8th grade, and candidates are typically confirmed in spring of their freshman year. (Note: current 8th and 9th graders will be doing Confirmation prep concurrently for 2016-2018, and will be confirmed together in Spring 2018).
Preparation for the sacrament occurs through regular Mass attendance, faith formation, ongoing service projects, a Confirmation interview, and a Confirmation retreat.
Students attending Catholic schools (including 8th grade Sacred Hearts, 9th/10th grade Edgewood and St. Ambrose) receive sufficient catechetical preparation through their religion classes and are not required to take FLAME Confirmation classes.
All other Confirmation candidates ARE required to receive Confirmation Preparation through the FLAME program. Please visit our FLAME Registration page to sign up for the 2016-17 FLAME year!
