Step 3: Interview

Interviews run from Aug – Sep
St. Basil is a large parish and Confirmation is a large program. It can be difficult to address the needs and concerns of each candidate in such a large setting. In order to get to know each candidate, all candidates will go through a one on one meeting with the youth minister, which will take place at the beginning of the candidate’s 9th grade year. You can schedule a time to meet with Erin by clicking the link below.
Interview Scheduling Opening Soon

Sponsors and Confirmation names do not have to be chosen until December 2024. We encourage you and your teen to take time to discern their confirmation name and sponsor.
