Confirmation

 

The Christian life is an ongoing journey. In the Sacrament of Confirmation we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and reaffirm our baptismal commitment to the Mission of Christ. The Spirit comes to us, enabling and empowering us to live as fully initiated members of the Catholic Church and sons and daughters of God who extend the message of Christ to the world.

 

 

At St.Mary's, Confirmation is usually celebrated in the Spring every other year for children either in 7th or 8th grade.

–Preparation begins with the study of the message and mission of Jesus Christ. Candidate/parent meetings focusing on the Sacrament of Confirmation are held in the Fall.

–A Retreat assists the young people in discerning their readiness for the sacrament.

–Candidates choose a Confirmation/Saint name with appropriate research on their model of faith;

–Engage in fifteen (15) hours of community service as determined by the  religious education program
