Sunday Mass:
In accordance with the 3rd Commandment, participating in Sunday Mass is a necessary part of being Catholic. Candidates are expected to attend Sunday Mass each week.

Interview:
Candidates will come in for a casual 15-minute interview with a member of the Pastoral staff. This interview gives our staff an opportunity to get to know the candidates as well as to discuss faith, prayer, service, and Confirmation.  To schedule an interview, contact Rachael Flanagan at olp@boldym.com.  Interviews will be held over the summer before 9th grade.

Candidates must practice the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.  Specifically, candidates must complete one service activity of 12+ hours or three service activities of 4+ hours (one being completed at OLP Parish) of Christian service to the poor, hungry, homeless, disabled, elderly, or others in need.  After completing these activities, they will fill out an online reflection form responding to specific questions about their Works of Mercy and what they’ve learned.  Click Here to find the Works of Mercy Service Form.

BOLD Youth Ministry:
