Confirmation for 7th and 8th grade students will take place every other year, on even years.  Preparations will begin in January and run through late April, for aproximalety 18 weeks.  A retreat to Maria Stein Shrine of the Holy Relics is included in the preparations.  Because St. Fancis of Assisi, generally has few children preparing for the Sacrament, Confirmation will be combined with another parish.  For more inforamation, please contact Joyce Schneider, joycemckownschneider@gmail.com
