Summary / General Information

Confirmation Year II 
​2020-2021
Confirmation is not about deciding to be Catholic. By virtue of your baptism, you are already Catholic. Confirmation, along with the Sacrament of the Eucharist, completes the Sacrament of Baptism.  

Receiving the sacrament of Confirmation is NOT a “graduation” from Faith Formation. Rather, through the sacrament, we are commanded by Christ to “go in peace, to love and serve the Lord.”  

As one of the three Sacraments of Christian Initiation, Confirmation celebrates the reality that the Holy Spirit is already alive in us and working through us. As with all sacraments, Confirmation should be entered into freely and with an open heart. 

Candidates who wish to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation agree to commit to actively participate in the life and work of the Church and demonstrate the following:

• Make time to pray each day. 
• Attend and participate fully in weekly Liturgy. 
• Choose a Sponsor and complete the Sponsor/Candidate portion of the preparation process. 
• Research a Saint/Choose a Confirmation Name.
• Attend all Confirmation Preparation sessions.
• Develop a relationship with an elder from the parish.
• Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before Confirmation.
• Seek the Sacrament of Confirmation freely and with an open heart.

The hope of our area faith community is that this preparation will foster the understanding that our Catholic faith is a journey that BEGINS with Confirmation and lasts a lifetime; God is always calling us to more!
