Religious Education at the Parish of St. Timothy
Confirmation Preparation
This program is designed to not only prepare young Catholics for the Sacrament of Confirmation in a dynamic way, but also to teach and inspire them to respond and cooperate with God’s grace in all the circumstances of their daily lives, long after their Confirmation has passed.
A large part of this preparation program will be using the free online DECISION POINT Confirmation preparation program. The prepared lessons will include only some of the videos, however, families are encouraged to watch the remaining videos to get an even fuller preparation experience.

All the short films and bonus content is also available on an application for smart phones and tablets.
Parents & Sponsors

Other lessons have been added to reflect the specific needs of the young people, particular traditions of the Parish of St. Timothy, and topics required by the Archdiocese of St. Boniface.
