Confirmation
Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For "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. (CCC1285)
The sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated in 3rd grade up to high school. Confirmation candidates need to choose one Sponser. Sponsers must be a practicing Catholic and must have received all of their sacraments. If the Sponser is not a registered member of our Parish, we need a letter of recommendation from their Pastor. If you have any questions, please contact the Director of Religious Ed. at the Parish Office 505-325-0287.
