Confirmation
In the Pittsburgh diocese, those who were baptized or received into the Latin rite of the Catholic Church as infants are to be led to the sacrament of Confirmation normally when they reach the 8th grade. The age of confirmation can be extended to the 9th grade at the discretion of the pastor.
Here at St. Benedict the Abbot Church, Confirmation is celebrated in the first semester of 9th grade. Candidates must successfully complete the 7th and 8th grade religious education program and attend the pre-confirmation classes.
