The Sacrament of Confirmation

Through the Sacrament of Confirmation, Christians are given the charismatic gifts necessary to live their lives as adults within the Church. Church law requires this sacrament to have been received in order for a person to be a sponsor at another's Baptism. It should also be received before the sacrament of Marriage to give the persons about to become parents the graces needed to share their faith with their children.

A special class in preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is offered for those high school students who have been in our Religious Education program.
Confirmation, the third sacrament of Christian initiation, is a confirming of one's commitment to one's faith. Because of its importance, the preparation period is a three year program begun in the ninth grade and continued through the eleventh grade. The program consists of instruction, service and prayer/retreat experiences.

College aged and other adults desiring to be confirmed prepare for this sacrament through participation in the R.C.l.A. classes on Sunday Mornings.
