Confirmation
Good Shepherd Church celebrates the Sacrament of Confirmation during the Easter Season (Easter Sunday-Pentecost). The exact date of the ceremony is determined by the Diocese of Richmond and is typically announced in the late winter.
In order to begin preparation for Confirmation, individuals must be in a grade 10, participating regularly in religious formation, and participating regularly in Sunday Liturgy.
The Confirmation preparation process involves an initial interview, attendance at Confirmation sessions throughout the year and attendance at a daylong retreat. Concurrent enrollment and attendance in catechesis is required as well.
For adult confirmation preparation, please contact the Parish Office.
