Confirmation, one of the three sacraments of initiation, unites the baptized more closely to the Church. Strengthened by the gift of the Holy Spirit, the confirmed are called to live out more fully their baptismal mission of spreading the faith by word and deed. Sacramental preparation classes help the Confirmation candidates to dig deeper into the mysteries of their faith while providing a comprehensive catechesis for the sacrament so that they might more readily live out this evangelical mission.
Confirmation for High School Students
Confirmation is a two year process, usually taking place in 9th and 10th grade. These two years consist of sacramental preparation classes, retreat, service, and continued growth in the Catholic faith through a variety of learning techniques.
