Confirmation

Parents are the primary teachers of the faith, therefore, are responsible for preparing their children for the Sacraments. The Catholic Church understands that this task can be difficult, so it provides a purpose driven curriculum to assist families in their children’s faith formation. Those students attending Our Lady of Grace Academy receive preparation during their normal religion class time and will receive Confirmation at the appointed date and time at Saint Ann’s Parish in East Moline, when all the students from the school receive their Confirmation together as one class.  

Those attending home, private, or public schools receive preparation through the Children’s Religious Education Program (CCD) offered on Sunday mornings during the school year, from 9am-10:15am at Saint Patrick in Colona.  CCD is only offered at Saint Patrick, but is a combined program with students from both Our Lady of Guadalupe in Silvis and Saint Patrick.  Confirmation preparation in CCD is a two year formation program beginning in 7th grade.  For more information please contact, Rose Roe at: (309) 949-3700.
