Confirmation Year 3

Welcome to St. Margaret Mary’s Confirmation program!

The details provided below are specifically for our year 3 Confirmation students. As you embark on this journey, kindly note that your commitment for the year involves attending each class and participating in the upcoming retreat. Being year 3 students, you’re approaching the due date for completing your Saint paper, selecting a sponsor, and wrapping up any remaining service hours (20 hours in total over the 3 years). We encourage you to keep your calendar in a visible place for both you and your family, ensuring their support as you progress on this significant sacramental journey.

The official dates for our Confirmation Ceremonies will be published by the Bishop’s Office in January 2026. The Confirmation Ceremony is often held in the month of April or May and is for all year 3 students who have completed their Confirmation requirements.
