25-26 Registration

• For our new teens seeking the sacrament of Confirmation (Confirmation 1 and 2) you must turn in a copy of your baptismal certificate in order to complete registration. 
• For our returning teens enrolling in Confirmation II, you must turn in any and all paperwork (service forms, baptismal certificate, make-up work) that was required the previous year you were with us. 
• Teens registering for Rise or Koinonia do not have any paperwork to submit.

Q. Are there different time slots available for your programs?
A. No, we only have one session for each age group. Middle School (Rise) is Wednesday nights from 7-8:30pm and High School (Encounter) is Sunday nights from 6:45-8:30pm. 

Q. Do you have a paper copy registration form I can fill out?
A. No, all of our registration is done electronically. If you need help with this, contact Stacie McKay ([email protected]) and you can set up a time to do it together at the church.

Q. Do we need to be registered parishioners to enroll?
A. No, we recommend it, but it is not required. All are welcome!

Q. My child is in 8th grade, can I enroll them in Confirmation I?
A. Confirmation Preparation in our Archdiocese cannot begin until 9th grade. Instead, you can enroll them in Rise, our Middle School program.

Q. We are new to the area, we completed Confirmation I at another parish, what do we do?
A. Please have the previous parish submit a letter indicating that your child completed Confirmation I and what was included in that program (how many sessions, retreats, service projects, etc.). Once our office has received that letter you may register for Confirmation II.

Q. If my child received 1st communion at CtR do I need to turn in another copy of my child's baptismal certificate?
A. Yes, any time your child is preparing to receive a sacrament in the Catholic church they are going to need to submit a copy of their baptismal certificate. Even if they were baptized at the church they are receiving the sacrament in. 

Q. I have a student in RE that I've already paid for. Do I pay a different price? Is there a discount?
A. RE and Youth Ministry are separate departments and programs so there is no discount across the two ministries. If you need any financial assistance, please contact our Director, [email protected], and he would be happy to help.

Q. My child has been in Catholic school their whole life and they need to receive Confirmation. What do I sign them up for?
A. If they are in 10, 11, or 12th grade, and they are currently enrolled in a Catholic school you would sign them up for Confirmation 2. If they're in 9th grade then Confirmation 1, and if in 7th or 8th grade register for RISE.

Q. Do I have to fill out the form each time if I have multiple children in grades 7-12?
A. You only need to fill out the form once per family. Just indicate how many in each program and you can register up to four children at one time.

Q. What is the difference between Youth Ministry and RE?
A. Youth Ministry and RE are both Faith Formation programs for youth but serve different age groups and have different formats. RE provides Faith Formation for students in grades Pre-K 3 through 6th grade while Youth Ministry provides Faith Formation for students in grades 7-12.
