No fees apply for sacramental formation. Fees for Youth Night formation may apply.

In the Diocese of Fort Worth, Confirmation takes place Sophomore year, or later (age 15) *. At St. Catherine, it is the norm for a youth to be involved in Faith Formation (Youth Night) for at least two years prior to being Confirmed, with preparation for Confirmation taking place during the last portion of the second year.

Along with Youth Night during the Sophomore year (gr 10) or later, there will be an orientation and a retreat in the fall, along with Confirmation prep sessions on select Wednesdays in the Spring from 7:00 -8:30 pm.  Learn more about Youth Night, click here.
