Confirmation is an amazing gift the Lord has given us. We look forward to sharing this blessing with your child.
We ask that you and your child choose a local sponsor to walk your child through this journey.
Confirmation Faith Formation classes are held Wednesdays from 6:15-7:30 PM for 7th graders. If your child did not attend Faith Formation in 6th grade, please call Angela at 605-787-5168.
Our Lady of the Black Hills uses many teaching models to engage the youth such as games, small group discussion, retreats, service projects and prayer. We have dedicated Catechists who are themselves engaged in the faith life of the Church and enjoy sharing their faith story with the students. Your child will complete material regarding their knowledge of their Catholic faith both with their parents and with their sponsor. Please begin reviewing these questions with your child. It is recommended your child attend one full year of faith formation prior to receiving the sacrament of Confirmation.
