We are looking forward to sharing with you this journey of faith as you prepare to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. As you will see, Confirmation Preparation involves learning, sharing, serving, fellowship, spiritual growth and fun! You will be given the opportunity to learn more about your Catholic faith and what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Confirmation is the Sacrament in which one is enriched by the gift of the Holy Spirit and bound more perfectly to the Church. It strengthens us and obliges us to be witnesses to Christ by word and deed and to spread and defend the faith. It is the Sacrament in which one enters into full membership in the Catholic Church.

The service element associated with preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation is a significant part of the formation process, as it helps candidates live out the core values of the faith and embody the gifts of the Holy Spirit they are about to receive. This service element can take many forms, but it generally involves active participation in the life of the Church and the community, serving others with compassion, generosity, and faith. Please read about our service requirements below.

A Confirmation name is a name that a person chooses to take upon receiving the sacrament of Confirmation. The confirmation name is taken as a way to reflect the individual's spiritual journey and identity. It is meant to symbolize a deeper connection with the faith and often marks a new chapter in their religious life. Many individuals choose a name of a saint, biblical figure, or Christian hero that they admire or feel a personal connection with. The name serves as a form of spiritual guidance and protection.
