Letter to Request Confirmation

Prior to Confirmation, all Candidates will write a letter requesting to be confirmed in the Catholic Church. Letters are to be typed and sent via email to the Director of Confirmation.

A few tips:
  • Please be sure that you are capitalizing the word God, and any other proper nouns (like Jesus, the name of your church, your sponsor, etc.).
  • Read your letter to check for correct wording (you are asking for confirmation, not conformation).
  • Use spell check, then have someone (your sponsor or parent) read your letter.

Here are some things you should include in your letter:
Begin your letter with: To Whom it May Concern
  • Begin by stating who you are and the parish to which you belong.
  • Explain why you want to be confirmed.
  • Explain how your Classes, Service Opportunities, and Sponsor Sessions have helped you grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Share what your relationship with Jesus Christ is like (is he a friend, a mentor, a model for you to follow, etc.).
  • How has Jesus made a difference in your life?
  • Share what Confirmation name you picked, a little about the Saint you researched and why you chose the name you did.
  • Talk about your Sponsor and how he/she has helped you on your faith journey.
  • Include anything else that you would like to add to your letter that you would like the person reading your letter to know about you.
Conclude your letter with: Sincerely, (type your name)

Your letter needs to be typed and submitted by December of Year II.
