Adult Confirmation

Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist (Holy Communion) comprise the three Christian Sacraments of Initiation.  Confirmation is the sacrament that seals and strengthens in us the gifts of the Holy Spirit given to us in Baptism.  A number of liturgical roles, such as serving as a Reader and Extraordinary Minister of the Holy Communion, require Confirmation.  The Church also views Confirmation as a profound outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which helps to sustain the faithful in the Christian life, and helps each person to experience the love of God more deeply.  Indeed, the Church sees Confirmation as a necessary step in becoming ready for marriage in the Catholic faith.

We invite you to consider setting aside time this year to prepare for the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation.
