The Sacrament of Confirmation instills the same fullness of the Spirit that the disciples received on Pentecost. It perfects in us what was begun in Baptism. It deepens our bond with the Holy Trinity and strengthens our bond with the Church.
Through Confirmation, we are empowered to assume an active role in the work of Jesus by witnessing to and spreading the faith. Such an awesome undertaking requires discernment and preparation. As such, youth who are entering the ninth grade or above may begin the preparation process in the fall of each year.
Young people entering the 9 th Grade or above are eligible to prepare for this sacrament. All Confirmation candidates are required to attend Sunday morning faith formation classes, Sunday evening youth group meetings, and three scheduled retreats (an afternoon retreat in October, a day retreat in March, and an Afternoon of Reflection retreat with their sponsors in April), as well as participate in service activities. Regular mass attendance by the candidate and his/her family is expected. The preparation process culminates in the celebration of the sacrament in the Easter season as scheduled by the Bishop.
