Confirmation

Overview

The Sacrament of Confirmation is a significant step in the growth and development of every Catholic, necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. At Confirmation, we affirm our commitment to God and the Church and receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The grace of this sacrament deepens our faith and brings us into a more abundant life with Christ, and strengthens us to share the love of Jesus Christ with others.

If you are a parent of someone undergoing sacramental preparation and would like more information, please visit out religious education page.

If you are an adult interested in exploring the process of becoming Catholic, we invite you to visit our OCIA page to get connected with us to learn more.
