In the Diocese of Kansas City - St. Joseph, those baptized Catholics as infants should normally recieve the Sacrament of Confirmation either in 9th or 10th grade, with the preparation for the reception of the Sacrament normally encompassing a period of catechesis and evangelization of about one semester or six months in length. Confirmation preparation represents only one of several aspects of the ongoing religious education of youth entrusted to parents and assisted by the parish. 

The St. Mary's Confirmation program runs from September to approximately February and is open to youth entering their sophomore year in high school.
