Confirmation
Our diocese requires that all children preparing for a sacrament must have at least two years of consecutive formal religious formation in a Faith Formation program or Catholic school during the preparation. The current enrollment in the Faith Formation program can be counted as the second year.
Confirmation Candidates must be in at least 8th grade and be in their second year of consecutive formal religious education.
Questions should be directed to Anthony Beauregard by phone (704.825.9600) or
familyyouth@queenoftheapostles.org.

Please Note:
A copy of your child’s Baptismal record from the church in which your child was baptized is due by January 1, 2027.
You must call the church of Baptism if your child was not baptized at Queen of the Apostles Church. The church of Baptism is the place in which all sacraments are recorded for an individual. This copy must be dated within 6 months of receiving a sacrament, so the original Baptismal Certificate cannot be used. Please have the church of Baptism send a copy with their church seal to our church office: Queen of the Apostles Church, 503 N. Main Street, Belmont, NC 28012.
