Confirmation

Adult Confirmation
Adult Catholics who have not been confirmed and who now desire to receive this Sacrament are invited to contact us. We use a flexible faith formation process designed to meet the needs of these adults.

Youth Confirmation
This sacrament is celebrated by our young people who are in their second year of high school or beyond. Free-standing sessions, a retreat, and service are part of their preparation.

Archdiocesan policy requires that youth who are preparing for this sacrament be enrolled in a parish Faith Formation program or parochial school for a year prior to the year in which the sacrament will be celebrated.

Youth Confirmation 2008-2009:  Young people currently enrolled in High School Faith Formation (grade 9) or a Catholic high school will be eligible to enroll for immediate preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation in the spring of 2008.
