Now that the school year has started, anyone interested in registering for Confirmation needs to connect with Dave Neeson via email at DNeeson@sldmfishers.org
SLDM Confirmation Process
We create small groups within our registered sophomores and pair those groups with a parishioner who will serve as their small group's "Mentor". It's up to the groups to choose when they meet, but they will end up meeting a total of 6 times. You can view their material below.
We also have 3 Large Group gatherings where everyone who is in the Confirmation Process (both parent & youth) are encouraged to join us in a large group format. Our team will work with furthering the discussion on Confirmation as our Youth Minister will stay with the parents to discuss the hardships and joys of parenting during the teenage years.
Lastly, we require everyone participate in the Confirmation Retreat before the Confirmation Liturgy. -

Choosing a Saint Name
In our Catholic tradition we have honored the holy men and women before us with patronage by choosing a Catholic saint name for our Confirmation. Our bishop has asked that boys choose male saints and ladies choose female saints. A great option is to use your Baptismal name (if you were chosen after a saint) to strengthen the sacramental connection for Confirmation. Here is a link for many more beautiful saints in our church. If a student does not choose their Baptismal name as their Confirmation saint, it should be a saint whose life speaks to them in some way. It could be a saint for whom a family member is named, a patron of an activity that the student enjoys, or one whose life speaks to the student in a certain way. St Isidore is the patron of video games. St Clare is the patron of TV. St Sebastion is the patron of athletes the list literally goes on and on.
