Confirmation


Confirmation, considered to be the second of the Sacraments of Initiation, is often celebrated last in the United States for Catholics baptized as children. It is never too late to receive the Grace of this important Sacrament.

  • Baptized Catholic children from ages 12 to 17(typically 6th to 11th grade), who have already received First Holy Communion, are eligible to enter the parish’s 3-year Confirmation program that begins in the 6th grade. Children are prepared to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation during the spring of the 8th grade year. However, we offer the program for children of all ages. 
 
  • Unbaptized Children from ages 7 to 17(typically 2nd to 11th grade) or those validly baptized in another non-Catholic Chrisitan community would enroll into the Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (RCIC)
 
  • Baptized Catholic adults (18 years old and older) would enroll in the Adult Confirmation and Eucharist Class. For more information, please contact Deacon Joe Santiago via email at [email protected]
 
  • Unbaptized adults (18 years old and older) or those validly baptized in another non-Catholic Chrisitan community would enroll into the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA)
