Welcome to Confirmation Preparation at Assumption for Teens!
While teens in our community attend various high school, Assumptions Confirmation program provides a place for them to come together and to learn, to share, and to build a faith community. And, despite the restrictions placed on community gatherings before us with the Coronavirus, we will continue to do so. Once you are registered you will receive an email acknowledging your registration (please give me time to process the registrations). 

We prepare teens for Confirmation in accordance with Canon Law, guidelines established by the Diocese of Oakland in 2010 (reaffirmed in 2015), and our parish Catholic traditions. Teens who would like to prepare for Confirmation at Assumption participate in an intensive preparation completed in one year.

  • Knowledge of Faith: what we believe,
  • Sacraments and Liturgy: how we celebrate,
  • Moral Formation: how we live as Catholic Christians,
