Sacrament of Confirmation

In confirmation, we reaffirm for ourselves our baptismal promises, renew our commitment to the Catholic faith and accept our responsibilities as followers of Jesus. During the celebration, the Bishop lays his hand on the head of the one to be confirmed and anoints the forehead with Chrism (Holy Oil). These actions seal us with the gift of the Holy Spirit and signify our participation in Christ's ministry. Confirmation classes are open to students from 9th - 12th grade. They are held after the 8:30 am Mass Sunday mornings in the Youth Center in the basement of Anthony House. The students must attend the classes in order to be Confirmed in the Spring.
