The Sacrament of Confirmation
Pastoral ManualConfirmation 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.
- It unites us more firmly to Christ.
- It increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- It renders a perfect bond with the Church.
- It gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith.
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
Teen 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.
-
In the sacrament of Confirmation,
the baptized person is "sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit"
and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ.
Here we recall that faith is a spiritual journey
involving family, friendships, and discipleship
- which is love of God, love for neighbor,
and spreading the Good News of Our Lord, Jesus.Classes begin in 9th grade

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.Grado 9
