Confirmation

Confirmation Team  694.2170

Confirmation is the sacrament in which, through the laying on of hands, anointing with chrism, and prayer, those already baptized are strengthened by the Holy Spirit in order that they may profess the faith and faithfully live up to their profession.  They are enriched with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and are more closely linked to the Church.  In order to conform to the Archdiocesan guidelines for Confirmation, youth who seek to be confirmed should be enrolled in the parish faith formation program, with a history of continuous faith formation, and have a personal desire to receive the sacrament.
