Most of us were baptized as an infant and have stories or pictures that have been shared with us but no memory of celebrating the sacrament ourselves. Baptism is the first sacrament of initiation that we celebrate, usually as an infant with our parents and godparents committing to raise us in the Catholic faith. Confirmation is also a sacrament of initiation that is celebrated to affirm our baptism. Confirmation provides us the opportunity to renew our baptismal promises and choose for ourselves to grow in our faith through participation in the Catholic Church.
Students from 8th grade through High School - Confirmation is a sacrament that a young person can prepare to receive during their 8th grade year or older. Students active in one of our programs of religion in 7th and 8th grades are eligible to prepare for the sacrament of confirmation. The confirmation program is separate from our other programs of religion. Confirmation will be celebrated with Bishop Malooly on Saturday, May 5, 2019 at 2:30 p.m. in the St. Francis de Sales Church.
