Confirmation Preparation
The age for youth Confirmation in the Archdiocese of Seattle is 7th grade or the equivalent age.
Holy Rosary and St. Thomas More welcome all 7th grade students to register for the youth Confirmation Program. If you are an adult looking to prepare for Confirmation, scroll down for more information.
Middle School Confirmation
7th & 8th grade students preparing to receive the sacrament of Confirmation are required to attend two day-retreats, and one overnight retreat.
At this time, there are no guarantees for a make-up opportunity if a retreat is missed. To miss a retreat is to jeopardize eligibility to receive the sacrament within that same year.
If your student does not attend a Catholic school, the proximate formation of their Confirmation preparation will take place in the Middle School Youth Group setting on Monday nights, 5:00-6:30pm. This is considered part of their Sacramental Preparation.
Catholic school students are also strongly encouraged to attend.

High School Sacraments
High School students (9th-12th) will prepare to receive Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and/or Confirmation) in sessions that take place twice a month on
Sundays at Holy Rosary in the Pastoral Center, 4:00-5:15pm,
in addition to regularly attending
High School Youth Group on Sundays, 5:30-7:30pm, beginning in the Fall.
High School students wishing to prepare for any of the three Sacraments of Initiation in the 2026-27 year must email Amanda Woyak by no later than
October 25, 2026.
These classes are required for high school teens wishing to receive sacraments within the year. Make-ups for missed classes will be minimal due to short staff and volunteers. Please plan accordingly to the best of your ability. If there is an issue, reach out to Amanda at your earliest convenience.
Youth Sacramental Preparation calendar for 2026-27 coming soon!
Adult Confirmation
Adult candidates for Confirmation are invited to join the Becoming Catholic program. Becoming Catholic serves adults who may have been Baptized, received their First Eucharist, or who have not received any of the sacraments and would like to know more. For more information on adult Confirmation please contact Daria Lobato or visit our Becoming Catholic page for more information.
Adults preparing for Confirmation with the Becoming Catholic program will receive Confirmation during the Easter Vigil Mass.
