Confirmation

The Registration for Confirmation Program for the catechetical year 2022-2023 is now closed.
Ongoing Catechetical Formation is open year-round from August to March.

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.” (CCC # 1285)

We are accepting registration for Confirmation Program for children who have received Baptism and First Holy Communion Sacraments and going into grade 7 or higher.

The Confirmation program requires continuous 2-year with consistent attendance and weekly Sunday Mass attendance. Year 1 is for Catechetical Formation and year 2 is for Confirmation preparation.

Due to the limited space in each classroom, registration will be treated as first come, first in. Registration is not complete until we have received a copy of your baptism and First Eucharist certificates and tuition has been paid.
