Most parishes offer Confirmation to parishioners in their early teenage years. At Saint Matthew, we prepare students for two years, usually beginning in seventh grade, to receive Confirmation at the end of their eighth grade year.
Confirmation Mass typically happens in the springtime and is normally celebrated by the Bishop of Columbus.
