"BE SEALED WITH THE GIFT OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT"
The Sacrament of Confirmation is, with Baptism and Eucharist, one of the three sacraments of initiation; confirmation completes and “confirms” the grace of baptism. Through the anointing with the Sacred Chrism the baptized person is “enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit,” and more than ever “obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed” (Catechism 1285). Preparation classes for youth 7th grade and older and adults who have not been confirmed are offered every year. Confirmation is typically celebrated in the spring of that year.
Adults who would like to complete their initiation in the Catholic Church (Baptism, 1st Communion and Confirmation) have the opportunity to participate in a similar preparation program that is adapted for adults. A new series of sessions begins on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 from 6:30-8:00 pm by Zoom. For more information and registration, contact Helen Oesterle, [email protected]
