Confirmation

Normally, 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 Confirmation Prep taking place during the last portion of the second year.

Along with Youth Night during the Sophomore year (or preparation year if later), there will be an orientation and a retreat in the fall, along with Confirmation prep sessions on select Wednesdays in the Spring from 7:30pm- 9:00pm. Learn more about Youth Night, click here.

St. Catherine of Siena

A soul rises up, restless with tremendous desire for God's honor and the salvation of souls. St. Catherine dedicated her life to serving those in need. She served as a nurse in homes and hospitals, and looked out for the destitute. She spread her knowledge and love of God through her work and her writings. At the age of seven we are told that St. Catherine vowed her virginity to God. At eighteen, she received the Dominican habit. She then began to live in solitude and silence in her room, going out only for mass. But somewhere, somehow, in this silence she learned to read. This silence ended in 1368 in her "mystical espousal" to Christ, after which she suddenly rejoined her family at home and gave herself to the service of the poor and sick.
