  Prerequisites
  Prerequisite means that religious instruction at a Catholic parish, Catholic school, or approved home school program must be completed first before applying to receive your Confirmation. We call these sacramental preparation years. For example, no child can "skip" the seventh grade year and expect to be confirmed as an eighth grader. Please ask to speak with our religious education/formation staff soon to inquire about a makeup plan. All families must be registered parishioners of St. Joseph Catholic Church.
  
  Children who attend non-Catholic private schools or Charter or Magnet schools such as Ascension, ARCA, STEM, Westminster, ESA, Christian Home School, etc. must be enrolled in Catholic religious education. Remember, children must attend religious education in consecutive years or have proof of religious education from other parishes in order to be promoted to the next year's sacramental preparation class. Please ask to speak with our religious education/formation staff soon.
