Confirmation Step 3 - Bishop Letter and Confirmation Completion Checklist

This form is for Confirmation candidates to resolve any missing details about the Confirmation preparation process, and to submit a letter to our regional bishop (specific information about the letter is below).

Candidate Email Address (optional)

Note on candidate email - minors will always have parents copied on messages sent to them. Since some families prefer to have their teens included in communication about their activities, we offer the teen email as an option.
