Confirmation

In 2022, the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon, moved the Confirmation age from 9th grade to 7th grade.

For the 2022-2023 school year, Holy Rosary will prepare students beginning at age 11 (generally the 6th grade), to prepare for the reception of Confirmation in September of 2023.

Following this transition year, we will continue to prepare students beginning at age 11 with the reception of Confirmation planned for the following September.

To receive Confirmation at Holy Rosary, students are enrolled in the weekly classes, participate in a day retreat at Mt. Angel, submit homework in a timely manner, and write two essays.

If the student is a registered parishioner elsewhere, but would like to be confirmed at Holy Rosary, please provide a letter from your pastor granting permission to receive Confirmation at Holy Rosary.

Adults interested in Confirmation are encouraged to call the parish office.
