Youth Ministry and Confirmation
If you are in High School, we have a lot going on for you at St. Nicholas Catholic Church. This comprehensive high school youth ministry at St. Nicholas Catholic Church welcomes all high school teenagers into a vibrant, faith-filled community where they can embrace the full joy of Catholicism as young people through encountering Christ and growing as disciples. This ministry includes regular Sunday night meetings during the school year, social activities, retreats and conferences, mission trips, week discipleship groups, and much more.

YOUTH CONFIRMATION
In the Diocese of Richmond, the Sacrament of Confirmation is received by youth who are in at least the 10th grade of high school and are 15 years of age as well as attending Mass and Reconciliation regularly. Families must be registered at St. Nicholas parish.
“Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit – his actions, his gifts, and his biddings – in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of the Christian life. To this end, catechesis for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community.” (CCC 1309)
