Ignite the Fire Confirmation Program
2020 - 2021 Candidates
- Families must be registered parishioners at OLMC at least six months prior to the Ignite The Fire Confirmation Retreat. (by December, 2020)
- We understand there may be scheduling conflicts for a few families. Therefore, students at OLMC may be confirmed anytime between 9 - 12 grades.
- Parents are to bring in the original Baptismal Certificate of the teen going through Confirmation to the parish office for us to verify and make a copy. If you do not have an original, parents must request a Baptismal Certificate from the parish where your teen was baptized. If your teen was baptized at OLMC, please provide us with the Month and Year in which your teen was baptized.
- It is our hope and plan to have our 5 day preparation and retreat for the 2021-2021 Confirmation year. Candidates will attend the entire Ignite the Fire 4-day Confirmation Retreat at Guerin Catholic High School, Noblesville, IN on June 10 - 13, 2021. (No service hours or additional retreats are required for our Ignite the Fire Confirmation participants.) Candidates will be confirmed on June 14, 2021, at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church between 2 evening masses.
Confirmation Sponsors
Sponsors for Confirmation must be 16 years of age or older, Catholic in good standing with the church, and have received the Sacraments of Baptism, First Eucharist and Confirmation. Please note, a parent cannot be their own teen's sponsor. All Sponsors need to fill out a Letter of Good Standing.

Summer School Policy
We are excited to provide our Ignite the Fire experience for your son or daughter. Through our unique 4-day confirmation retreat, we provide catechesis, mass, formation, preparation, reconciliation, community building and service. Therefore, it is important that each of our students attend all four days of the retreat (Thursday through Sunday) in order to be fully prepared to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Those teens enrolled in Summer School will be able to attend Thursday morning class as arrival is not until 1 pm on that day; they will need to take off Friday, June 11 if their school has class on Friday's in order to meet the catechetical requirement for Confirmation.
