Sacrament of Confirmation

ABOUT THE SACRAMENT
The sacrament of Confirmation builds on the sacraments of Baptism, Penance, and Holy Communion, completing the process of initiation into the Catholic community. It increases and deepens all of the graces granted at Baptism and confers special graces of the Holy Spirit upon the person being confirmed; just as such graces were granted to the Apostles on Pentecost.

SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
The Confirmation program is intended for students who are in 8^th– 10^th grades.
For students who are in 11th or 12th grade, click here.

The Confirmation program will be held on Sundays from 4:15-5:45 p.m. in the Family Center starting in August through April 2026.  Most of the schedule will be every other week for most of the prep sessions.  Confirmation Mass is tentatively scheduled for April/May 2026. This program is for the public, private, homeschool, and catholic school students.
