Confirmation
“…He breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” John 20:22
The sacrament of confirmation strengthens the baptized and obliges them more firmly to be witnesses of Christ by word and deed and to spread and defend the faith. It imprints a character, enriches by the gift of the Holy Spirit the baptized continuing on the path of Christian initiation, and binds them more perfectly to the Church. (Can. 879)
Preparation
Preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation is a three-year program through the school or Faith Formation program.
Schedule
The dates for the sacrament of Confirmation are determined by the Bishop’s calendar.
