Confirmation

Current confirmation students: see the Confirmation Class page on this website for updates as well as forms such as: Class Schedule, Confirmation Questions, Sacrament Info Form and Service Hour form.

Confirmation takes place when Catholics have received the Sacraments of Baptism and First Holy Communion. Religious Education students receive this sacrament after the completion of a two year Confirmation Class.

If you are older than Eighth Grade and have not received the sacrament of Confirmation and would like to, please call the parish office.

“The Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation together constitute the ‘Sacraments of Christian Initiation,’ whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For ‘by the Sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.’ Anointing with oil has all these meanings in the sacramental life. The pre-baptismal anointing with the oil of catechumens signifies cleansing and strengthening; the anointing of the sick expresses healing and comfort. The post-baptismal anointing with Sacred Chrism in Confirmation and Ordination is the sign of consecration. By Confirmation Christians, that is, those who are anointed, share more completely in the mission of Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Holy Spirit with which he is filled, so that their lives may give off ‘the Aroma of Christ’.” (CCC 1285, 1294)
