Information & Guidelines
In our Parish, Confirmation is usually celebrated in the 2nd grade. If you are older than 2nd grade and have not received the Sacrament yet feel moved to do so, feel free to contact the Faith Formation Center at: 207-834-3984. Alternatively, you can begin the conversation via e-mail on the right.
There is a 2 year Sacrament Preparatory class required for all children to be confirmed [and to receive their First Holy Communion. If your child is in the 1st grade and attends Religious Education classes with St John Vianney Parish, paperwork will be sent to you in the fall about the Sacrament Preparatory class.
