The Sacrament of Confirmation

CONFIRMATION - SY2025-2026

The sacrament of Confirmation will take place this school year for students eligible to receive them. If you would like your child to participate, we ask parents to complete a 2-part process.

STEP 1: Please complete and submit this FORM. Once completed, you will receive a confirmation email for your submission.

STEP 2: The parish also requires a copy of the CHILD's Baptism Certificate in order to process the registration. Please submit a PHOTOCOPY of the Baptismal Certificate, as well as a translation if it is in another language, at one of the following dates/times:

IN-PERSON SACRAMENTAL REGISTRATION DATES:

Wednesday, October 1, 2025, drop-in between 5PM - 7PM; or

Saturday, October 4, 2025, drop-in between 10:30AM - 12PM

You only need to drop-in once. At this in-person event, we will have volunteers who will verify the child’s baptism information and answer any questions. We will also have important materials to hand out. Please note that your registration will only be processed upon submission of a valid Baptismal Certificate. If you have misplaced the Baptism certificate, you need to contact the church of Baptism and request a new record of Baptism.

If for any reason you prefer to fill out a paper registration form, please click here to access a PDF copy of this form. You may also pick-up a paper form from the parish office during office hours.

Submission of this form indicates your intention and commitment to fully participate in the sacramental preparations for these important sacraments. Please note that you and your child are expected to attend all meetings at the church prior to the celebration of each sacrament.

NOTE: This information is only for children who attend our 6 parish elementary schools. If your child is Catholic, lives within our parish boundaries, and attends a different school, please see the Catechetical Correspondence page on our website.

What is the Sacrament of Confirmation?

Confirmation is the sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation.

The Effects of Confirmation are as follows:

An increased portion of the gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, knowledge, right judgment, understanding, courage, piety, and fear of the Lord
A deepening and strengthening of the grace received at Baptism, which is considered the presence of God in the soul
A more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ
A closer bond with the Catholic Church
The ability to take a greater, more mature role in the Church's mission of living the Christian faith daily and witnessing to Christ everywhere
A special mark, or character, on the soul that can never be erased.
