In the Diocese of Newark, a 2 year preparation is required for Confirmation. This preparation is usually during the 7th and 8th grade school year. If your child attends Catholic School, you are still required to enter a parish program for Confirmation. If you have a child of that age, please register them as soon as possible for the coming school year. Registration forms can be found online at www.stmarycloster.org. For any questions, please call the Religious Education Office at 201- 767-8247.
