Parents of Confirmation students:

How exciting that your child is going to be completing their initation into the church, which started when they were baptized! Amidst the tumltuous uncertainty and anxiety of the world, the sacraments are direct contact with Jesus Christ! They are the anchors we so desparately need tap into the life of grace so that we can navigate our life on earth. So even in difficulties, let us rejoice in hope and trust; for God is faithful forever!

Sacramental prepartion will be completed both at home and at church. Confirmation preparation classes will meet on the first Sunday of every month, 11:15-12:45, at St. Joseph Key West. The first session for Confirmation preparation is a parent/preparation session in which parents are invited to come see how the sessions will be ran as well as I will be able to answer any questions.

Youth Ministry will be starting up again this year. Please stay tuned for events. There will be city-wide youth ministry events as well. Darby Callahan is still working on a youth calendar and will be emailing it out to all Middle School and High School parents. 

So, to register your child to prepare to receive Confirmation, we ask that you complete the Youth Faith Formation registration form and mark that you are only signing your child up for Confirmation preparation.

Registration has officially closed. Please contact Darby Callahan if you have any questions and did not have a chance to register for the 2022-2023 Faith Formation year.
