    • Confirmation with Special Circumstances

      Adaptations for Candidates with Special Needs

      Confirmation may be celebrated privately in the Grotto Chapel or in the main church immediately before the large group celebration.  We can also arrange special seating during the large group Mass.

      Teen Confirmation

      If you have an older child whom you would like to be confirmed, contact Jason Gawaldo at jgawaldo@sts-jp.org or (724) 935-2104 x228 and we will design a preparation program to meet your needs.

      Adult Confirmation

      If you are an adult who is looking to be received into the Catholic Church and to be confirmed, contact Karen Walker at kwalker@sts-jp.org or (724) 935-2104 x223 to learn more about the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults program.

    • Eligible Candidates have completed 7th and 8th grade Faith Formation, including Catholic Vision of Love.  If you have not completed these, you will need to meet with a Staff Member to discuss an appropriate type of formation plan prior to Confirmation.
