Confirmation Preparation meets twice a month on Sundays 4-5:30 pm September thru April

Students enrolled in the Confirmation program will discover during monthly group discussions a deeper understanding of their Catholic faith and the Sacrament of Confirmation.

The theological understanding of Confirmation that is presented in the actual rite includes the following elements:

1.     Confirmation is a Sacrament of initiation, which bestows the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.

2.     This gift confirms believers more perfectly to Christ and strengthens them for the task of witness, which builds up the Church.

3.     The Sacrament seals the candidate in such a way that it cannot be repeated.

In addition to monthly sessions, students are expected to fully participate in the life of the parish through involvement in the three key components of worship, service and fellowship.

“We are called to not only know our faith, but to live our faith as well.”
