St. Joseph Parish

The Catholic initiation process is completed with the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation.  A candidate must be at least 16 years of age, usually in grade 11, attend Christian Formation classes on a regular basis, participate in a weekend retreat, and do community service as a sign of one's faith in action.  This year, Confirmation was celebrated together with the class of St. Wenceslaus in Ripon with the two parish pastors presiding.
