Confirmation

Confirmation has gone through many changes over the last few years and now is most commonly celebrated in high school, with an emphasis on the personal faith development and commitment of the Confirmand. Confirmation may be administered to any baptized person who gives evidence of sufficient understanding of the meaning of the sacrament and a desire to receive it. As with all of the sacraments, Confirmation is a gift of God, freely given and freely received. Those who want to be confirmed prepare for the Sacrament through participation in retreats, service projects, attendance at scheduled classes, and parish activities.
