Confirmation

 The Sacrament of Confirmation

Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation", whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.

All incoming 8th grade students are encouraged to be confirmed during their 8th grade school year. In order to participate and be prepared for this sacrament:

• Children must have attended a seventh grade religious education program.
• Children must be in the CFP program or Catholic School during their eighth year. 
• Preparation for Confirmation will also involve parent meetings, a service event, prayer workshop, and a retreat.
