By the sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed. 
 
This sacrament is conferred by a bishop on our children when they are in 8th grade. Children are prepared for this sacrament by attending Catholic School or our parish Sunday School and Faith Formation Program for 2 years (beginning in the 7th grade). They are also supported by sponsors who must meet certain criteria and be a practicing Catholic. 
 
Please call or email the parish office for additional information about confirmation.
