Catholic students in Class VIII are joined by their families, sponsors, and classmates in celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation. Students prepare for the sacrament in religious studies class, at a day of reflection, and through the completion of a self-designed service project. The Confirmation Mass is celebrated by a bishop and marks the student’s transition into a mature role in the Catholic Church. Every student, regardless of her faith tradition, has a special role in the celebration.
