Confirmation
Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. It is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation for Catholics. It is most often associated with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Students in 8th grade are invited to prepare for this sacrament. Preparation begins in the fall of the 8th grade academic year with the sacrament being celebrated in the fall of the 9th grade academic year. Preparation involves three in-person meetings plus an in-person, day-long retreat. Following preparation there are two additional dates: a rehearsal in the Church and the celebration of the Sacrament.
