"The effect of Confirmation is a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit like that of Pentecost. This outpouring impresses on the soul an indelible character and produces a growth in the grace of Baptism. It roots the recipient more deeply in divine sonship, binds him more firmly to Christ and to the Church and reinvigorates the gifts of the Holy Spirit in his soul. It gives a special strength to witness to the Christian faith." #268, Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
Confirmation Preparation is a two-year program that begins when a student enters the 9th grade. The student must be registered in Religious Education at Holy Spirit and attend The Well weekly formation on Wednesday nights from 6:30 - 8 p.m. In order to recieve the Sacrament of Confirmation, it is also required for the student to attend each of the 4 scheduled retreats.
Please note that it is required for students to attend each retreat and, if possible, to have parents/guardians and Confirmation sponsors accompany them. If attendance is not possible, contact Emily Sanchez ([email protected]) as soon as possible.
Contact the Parish Office for more information.
