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.
High School Student:Confirmation is a sacrament that a young person can prepare to receive during the second year of participation in our parish Senior High School Youth Ministry Program.The confirmation sessions begin in the late fall of each year.
Adult:There are classes for adults who are over the age of 18 and who have already prepared and celebrated the sacraments of reconciliation and Eucharist.The preparation process begins in the early fall of the year and then the sacrament is celebrated with the Bishop of Wilmington during the next Easter season.
