No Matter how our lives may twist, turn and overlap, they all fit together as part of a magnificent whole.
No beginning. No end. Just one of God's creations.

Confirmation

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; He has anointed me, and sent me out to preach the gospel to the poor, to restore the brokenhearted; to bid the prisoners go free, and the blind to have sight; to set the oppressed at liberty, to proclaim a year when men may find acceptance with the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19)

The Sacrament of Confirmation is a rite confirming an individual's Baptism.  This Sacrament strengthens each Christian and helps us enter into a more intimate union with Christ. It is a Sacrament which opens us to the powerful gifts of the Holy Spirit as we strive to lead a Christian life and bring others to the knowledge and love of God.


 
 
Confirmation of Young People (10th and 11th grade students) takes place every other year.  The next Confirmations are scheduled for 2008, 2010, and 2012.  During preparation for this sacrament, students are discussing, examining and exploring faith issues as they grow spiritually and deepen their faith. Weekly preparation classes begin in the Fall, with celebration of the sacrament taking place in the Spring. A retreat is also a required part of the preparation.

This year confirmation will take place on February 5th, 2008. For more information please refer to the Confirmation Program packet.
