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, is a two year program for those preparing to receive the sacrament and involves catechesis, service, and more.  

We encourage any adult who has been Baptized Catholic and received their First Eucharist and wishes to be a fully initiated Catholic to join us in preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Our Parishes will again offer preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation of adults beginning in January 2020. These preparation sessions are for adults {18 or over} for whatever reason have not received the Sacrament of Confirmation. Those who present themselves for the Sacrament will have an initial interview and then begin sessions to last for 10 sessions, and will be confirmed during the Easter Season.

This Program is offered free of charge.

The Program generally meets for sessions held at the convenience of the Candidates. The session topics center on the Sacrament of Confirmation and Church teaching.

Parishioners please pass this information on to your family, friends and neighbors.
Please call the Religious Education Center at 973-948-7004 for any questions you might have, leave a message and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
