Confirmation is one of the sacraments of initiation, along with Baptism and Eucharist. While baptism is the sacrament of rebirth to a new and supernatural life, confirmation is the sacrament of maturity and coming of age. It is conferred by the anointing of Chrism oil and the laying on of hands by the Bishop. The Sacrament of Confirmation draws us into a greater awareness of the Holy Spirit, which we received at Baptism. Through this sacrament, we confirm the presence of the baptismal gifts we have already received; we are sealed with the undeserved and unearned gift of the Holy Spirit.
Confirmation is a 2 year commitment with year 1 starting in 9th grade and year 2 starting in 10th grade. Confirmation students DO NOT REGISTER FOR JOURNEY IN FAITH. Confirmation classes meet several times a month on Sunday mornings, schedule to be announced at a later date. If you have any questions please contact Mr. Joshua Whelan, Confirmation Director.
