We wish to welcome anyone interested in receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. The high school preparation for the sacrament is a two year commitment in the Paterson Diocese, usually completed during 9th and 10th grade. There are exceptions to the age of preparation. Our ultimate goal for those entering the process is formation as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

We are dedicated to ensuring that every candidate receives the best religious education possible. The preparation required by the Diocese of Paterson for Confirmation is a two year commitment. Our Lady Queen of Peace follows the directives of the Diocese as is reflected in our handbook. Therefore, by the end of the process each candidate will have met the requirements of the Diocese of Paterson, and will be fully prepared to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. We welcome your input and cooperation as we guide our young people on their journey towards Christ.

The process leading to the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation is intended to help the teens of Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish recognize that God is active and working in their daily lives. Through Mass attendance and prayer experiences, candidates for reception of the sacrament will develop a personal relationship with God that will be a sustaining influence throughout life.

Class attendance and participation are essential to the learning process and necessary to a proper understanding of the tenets of the Catholic Faith.

Service activities are meant to provide an experience that will lead to the development of an attitude that makes Christian Service a priority for the teen that will be carried throughout adulthood.
