Confirmation

Baptism, the Eucharist, and the Sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed."
                                               Catechism of the Catholic Church (1285) 
For additional information on being Confirmed, please contact the parish office or Lynn Smollin, our Director of Religious Education at [email protected]. 

If you've already been Baptized and are beyond 8th grade, please contact the parish office or Kelly Diette, Coordinator of OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) at [email protected].
