Confirmation

Confirmation, along with the Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist, constitute the Sacraments of Initiation. The Sacrament of Confirmation is imparted with two sacred signs: the laying on of hands and the anointing with the oil of Chrism. These signs set the seal of the Holy Spirit upon us which marks our total belonging to Christ.

Our Confirmation program will be transitioning to confirming students in the fall of their 9th Grade year after completion of required formation. The goal of our confirmation program is to help participants better understand the Catholic faith and the role of Confirmation in the life of a Catholic today.
