Confirmation

Confirmation is a Catholic sacrament that signifies the strengthening of the Holy Spirit in an individual. Through this sacrament, the recipient is sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, which strengthens their faith and prepares them to become full members of the Church. Confirmation is typically received during adolescence or adulthood after the recipient has undergone a period of preparation and discernment.

The Diocese has established guidelines for candidates of the Sacrament of Confirmation:

• Candidate is required to have received the first two Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism and Eucharist.
• Candidate is required to be in grades 7th - 11th in a Catholic High School or Parish School of Religion Program.
