Welcome to the Sacrament of Confirmation

Welcome to the Sacrament of Confirmation

Overview
The Confirmation program is designed to prepare Confirmandi for a deep and personal encounter with Jesus Christ and the empowering grace of the Holy Spirit. It aims to guide them through an understanding of the core aspects of the Christian faith, equipping them to live out their Confirmation as true witnesses of the Gospel. By exploring the themes of discipleship, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the mission to share the Good News, this program helps Confirmandi embrace their identity as members of the Church and followers of Christ. By the end of the program, they will be ready to receive the sacrament of Confirmation and take on their responsibility as active participants in the Church’s mission.

General Timeline
Every year, information sessions are held in late September/early October, followed by registration nights in October. Confirmation Candidates and their families then attend a Commitment Mass, marking the beginning of their journey within the Confirmation Program.

As part of the program, students and their families attend mass weekly at Sts. Peter and Paul, starting the day of their fall commitment mass. Starting in January until their May ceremony, the Confirmandi also participate in 12 Saturday morning interactive classes, held from 10am-12noon, at the Meeting House and their parents/guardians participate in 3 parent meetings, at the same time as class.
