Confirmation (7th, 8th & 9th Grade)

Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of 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." 
Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1285.

Formation for receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation is a vital part of the life of a Christian, for by Confirmation, Christians are set to receive a spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence and the spirit of wonder and awe in the Lord's presence. It is the third Sacrament of Initiation, so that with reception of Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation, a person comes into full communion with the Body of Christ, His Church.

Registration for formation for 2022 - 2023 is currently open. Please select the Formation menu item to go to the registration form. This form covers registering for Family Faith Formation, First Communion, Confirmation and The Well.
