"Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the 'sacraments of Christian initiation, whose unity must be safeguarded.' . . . [T]he reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace." Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285

For children...
Do you have child or teenager who is ready to be confirmed? Preparation for this important sacrament takes place either in Catholic school or in our CCD classes, which begin in September and end in May. Two years of preparation are required before a child can be confirmed. Confirmation normally occurs in the eighth grade (preparation begins in seventh grade), but preparation classes are also available for older teens. Please see the
CCD section of our website for information about registration.
