* Our 2021 Winter session is now closed. We will offer another course in the Fall of 2021.

Welcome! We are so happy you are ready to complete the Sacraments of Initiation by pursuing Confirmation. We offer a 12-week course that prepares you to receive the Sacrament in Spring 2021. You may complete this course by participating in either our Fall (October through December) or Winter (January through April) session. Register for whichever session works best for your schedule. The classes do fill up quickly, so register early. Here's a guideline for getting started:

1. Register for the course either online or by completing the hard copy of the registration form and returning it to our parish office on Olive Ave.
2. Read and follow the instructions sent to you via email.
3. Attend the first class. (If you do not attend the first class, you may be dropped to make room for those on waiting lists). 
4. Gather copies of your birth, Baptism and First Communion certificates and submit them to the instructor by the third class.

The top reason adults hesitate to pursue this sacrament is a fear of not knowing enough. Please don't let that stop you! That's what we're here for!  We'd love to accompany you on the journey so that you can live in the fullness of our beautiful Catholic faith!

Suggested donation for the program materials is $60.

Confirmation is one of the 3 Sacraments of Initiation in the Catholic Church... the other two are Baptism and Holy Eucharist. All three create the foundation of every Christian life. 

We believe that the faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by Confirmation, and nourished with the Eucharist (Holy Communion).
 
This video from BustedHalo provides a good explanation of Confirmation and answers questions, such as:

• Why do I have to get confirmed if I’m already baptized?
• How do I choose a sponsor as I prepare for confirmation?
• Why do I have the option to choose a new name?
• What specific graces do I receive when I receive Confirmation?
