Our Program
The sacrament of Confirmation is the acceptance of the Church's mission to spread and defend the faith. Confirmation seals the gifts of the Holy Spirit within us that we can more faithfully carry out our task of spreading and defending the faith.
- Wisdom
- Knowledge
- Counsel
- Understanding Fortitude
- Piety
- Fear of the Lord
Together with Baptism and Eucharist, the sacrament of Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation. Confirmation strengthens the grace of Baptism by a special outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which seal or "confirm" the baptized in union with Christ and equip them for active participation in the worship and apostolic life of the Church.

Forms and Fees
Candidates should register for Religious Education. Confirmation is the same as a regular year of religious education. $175 (the sacramental fee is rolled into this).
Confirmation candidates (those to be juniors) should already be contemplating both a potential sponsor and a Saint name to choose. Sponsors must be a practicing Catholic, 16 years of age or older and cannot be the student's parents.If your child attends a Catholic high school, please contact Luke Gietman as the Confirmation process is different for those who attend a Catholic school.
A copy of each Confirmation candidate's baptismal certificate is required. Please email a copy to Luke Gietman as soon as possible.Contact Luke Gietman if your student needs help connecting with a sponsor.
If you are an adult seeking Confirmation, please email Luke Gietman. -
