The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston mandates that candidates be confirmed in their 10th or 11th grade year. Thus, candidates must be in at least the 10th grade to enter the Confirmation Program.
The Archdiocesan Confirmation Guidelines (ACG) state that the candidates must "participate in the sacramental life of the Church, especially Eucharistic liturgies." (p. 24). For a youth to be eligible to enter into the Confirmation Program at St. Maximilian Kolbe, he/she must be baptized, attending Mass weekly, receiving communion, and be participating in the sacrament of penance. Each candidate must provide a copy of his/her baptismal certificate to the CCE office prior to entering the Confirmation Program.
