Youth Confirmation
“Remember, then, that you received a spiritual seal, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear. Keep safe what you received. God the Father sealed you, Christ the Lord strengthened you and sent the Spirit into your hearts as the pledge of what is to come.”— St. Ambrose
Who is ready for Confirmation?
Confirmation preparation is open to youth in Grade 7 and above who have been baptized Catholic and are ready to take the next step in their faith journey. (Additionally, if in grade 6 and an older sibling is going through at the same time permission may be requested.)
Through the Sacrament of Confirmation, we are strengthened by the gifts of the Holy Spirit and more fully equipped to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
