Our Ignite Confirmation preparation initiative seeks to inspire those preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Ignite will help unpack the journey of faith, identify how the Spirit is at work in our lives and what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. This new initiative involves learning, sharing, serving, fellowship, spiritual growth, and fun! Confirmation is a two-year process open to anyone in 7th grade or older.

To register, please contact Maureen Doherty to check which sessions have openings mdoherty@stbartholomewchurch.org / 908 322 5192

Students will be divided into two groups: students beginning their first year of preparation (usually 7th grade) should sign up for Confirmation 1 and students in their second year of preparation (usually 8th grade) should sign up for Confirmation 2. Both groups will meet on Sundays from 4-6:30pm following this schedule:

1st Year Confirmation (Schedule B)

November 19
January 21

There are no registration fees for Confirmation preparation. As families approach the Sacrament, a donation is encouraged. If this is your first time registering for a St. Bart’s Faith Formation program, please submit a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate to Maureen Doherty (mdoherty@stbartholomewchurch.org).
