Another Option to consider...
In addition to this program there is also the
RCIA,
which you can learn more about by following the link. This Adult Confirmation
Program is designed for adults who have been Baptized and received First
Communion, and who are participating in Sunday Mass, but somewhere along the
line did not receive Confirmation.
Is there a fee for the Confirmation Program?
Access to the sacraments is a fundamental right of all Catholics;
therefore, there is no mandated fee for the program. Costs are covered by your
donations to the regular collections on Sundays.
