Confirmation
"Do not let them criticize you for being young. Try to be a model for believers by your speech, your conduct, your charity, your faith, and your blameless life.”
1 Timothy 4:12
Confirmation is one of the sacraments of the Church. Together with Baptism and the Eucharist it constitutes the set of "sacraments of Christian initiation", that is, sacraments whose reception is necessary for the fullness of the grace we received in Baptism.
In the Sacrament of Confirmation, we perfect baptismal grace; it is the sacrament that gives the Holy Spirit to root us more deeply in divine filiation, to incorporate us more firmly into Christ, to make our bond with the Church more solid, to associate us even more closely with her mission and to help us bear witness to the faith. (1285- Catechism of the Catholic Church).
For young candidates: (12 to 17 years of age)
Saturdays 10AM - 12PM
Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation requires a process of two consecutive years of preparation for all who have received the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion. Generally, this process for teens begins in the seventh grade (12 years of age) and culminates at the end of the eighth grade (13 years of age).
