Welcome to the Confirmation Program at St. Joseph Parish and Mission Church of St. Vincent de Paul. I am excited to journey with your family and your teen towards the Sacrament of Confirmation. On this page you will read about all the Confirmation and Youth Ministry Program. This is truly a special time of spiritual formation for your teen, one that I hope will strengthen your entire family.

The Confirmation Program fulfills all diocesan requirements such as: completing service hours to the church and in the 2nd year to the church and to the community, completing a saints project, and attendance requirement. For their second year they are required to participate in the Diocese Confirmation Conference and a parish retreat. The first is the Confirmation Conference, "Fired Up!". This conference includes their Rite of Election which is led by the bishop, and the coming together of youth from the greater Sacramento area. The  Parish Confirmation Retreat happens at our Mission Church, St. Vincent De Paul. All of these confirmation requirements must be fulfilled in order to successfully receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
