The Sacrament of Confirmation
Pastoral Manual
Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist).
Confirmation is the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit that brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace.
A minimum of two (2) years of formal religious education in a parish or Catholic school program precedes preparation for the celebration of the sacrament of confirmation
Adolescent Confirmation
Adolescents who were baptized as an infant or toddler receive Confirmation generally 14-16 years of age. The Bishop is the ordinary minister of Confirmation. A recent baptismal certificate is required so the reception of the sacrament can be duly recorded at their church of baptism.
Adults seeking Confirmation should contact their parish for the dates and times of their adult Confirmation program. Adults can receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at their parish celebration of the sacrament or at one of the diocesan adult Confirmation celebrations.
Youth must be completely registered by August 23, 2020
to be considered for receiving sacraments the following spring.

En el sacramento de Confirmación,
la persona bautizada es
"sellada con el regalo del Espíritu Santo"
y se le prepara y fortalece para estar al servicio
del Cuerpo de Cristo (La Iglesia).
Aquí recordamos que la fe es un viaje espiritual
involucrando familia, amistades y discipulado
- que es el amor de Dios, el amor al prójimo,
y difundiendo el Evangelio de Nuestro Señor, Jesús.
