Why?
In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is "sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit" and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ. At the Sacrament of Confirmation you are given the opportunity to say ‘this is what I believe’ in front of your Catholic Community. Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ. We have a confirmation preparation program for anyone that wishes to receive the sacrament.
Who?
Anyone in high school is eligible to join this preparation program.
When?
Preparation starts in the fall and ends in the spring with the confirmation rite and mass.
