The Sacrament of Confirmation

When we are baptized, we are adopted by the Father and given the opportunity to participate in Christ’s role as Priest, Prophet, & King. Through Confirmation, God completes our Baptismal grace and deepens our call to live this three-fold mission. This is not a rite of passage or graduation from religious education, it is a continuation of the "faith journey" we are all on. It is a sacrament of mission and power, giving Christians the strength and grace to live out the mission of Jesus Christ and His Church.

 

​The sacrament is celebrated in October the following year. Teens can register for Confirmation Preparation if they have met the following requirements:

​

• Have been baptized

• Will reach the age of 15 by September 1st in the year prior receiving Confirmation

• Will participate in Youth Discipleship Small Groups (both Catholic and Public School Youth) during the school year

• Have attended a Catholic School or Youth Discipleship Small Group for the year prior to and including the year of preparation
