The Sacrament of Confirmation is a mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. Confirmation is the rite in which we are strengthened for service to the Church and to others and sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Like Baptism and Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament of faith in God’s fidelity to us. It is received only once in one's lifetime; it is not a repeatable moment.
Adults who were previously baptized and received Holy Communion but never confirmed as children can prepare for this sacrament during the Easter season. The sacrament is celebrated on Pentecost Sunday. Please call the Religious Education Office during Lent to arrange for the preparation program.
