Confirmation, together with Baptism and Eucharist, form the Sacraments of Initiation that are all intimately connected.

    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.
The preparation for the the Sacrament of Confirmation is parish-based, as the parish remains the center of lifelong faith development for Catholics.

  As per Diocesan guidelines, Confirmation typically takes place during the
sophomore year of high school (around age 16).  It is a two year program initiated in freshman year for those preparing to receive the sacrament and involves catechesis, service, and more.  

    
The Adult Confirmation Program presently meets two Sundays a month after the 9:30am Mass at St. Thomas Church. The topics to be discussed are as follows for January 13 and 27: The Apostles and Nicene Creeds, The Trinity, The Church and the Community of Saints.
