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.  

    Come Jan. 2019, the parish will again offer preparation sessions for any adult  (age 18 & over) who is a Baptized Catholic and has received the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist, but has not as yet received their Sacrament of Confirmation.

Following an initial interview and participation in the program, one could be confirmed during the upcoming Easter Season.
