Confirmation Moves to Sixth Grade in the Diocese of Des Moines — John Gaffney
The Catholic Morning Show
John Gaffney from the Diocese of Des Moines joins Deacon Mark Campbell to discuss a landmark shift in sacramental preparation: the Diocese of Des Moines is moving confirmation from tenth grade to sixth grade. Rooted in extensive listening and discernment led by Bishop Johnson, the change introduces a new discipleship pathway model that forms young Catholics in identity, encounter, and mission. A parent formation component and partnerships with Halo, FORMED, and Our Sunday Visitor's Real + True program are central to the new approach.
