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.

Use registration forms listed below ONLY IF your child attended Catechetical Formation in 2021-2022. 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.
