Confirmation

Confirmation   
                      

Our parish celebrates the liturgy of Confirmation each spring. In the years prior to being confirmed, our sixth grade school students and CCD / P.R.E.P. children prepare for this significant moment in their faith life by regularly attending religious education classes and church. In the fall of sixth grade, students announce their candidacy for Confirmation and begin a formal period of preparation. 

Private School Students: Any sevnth grade student attending a private Catholic school should contact Mrs.Sue Angelo. Although private school students receive their instructions at the school they attend, they are confirmed in their parish. These students should participate in our Rites of Candidacy, Election, retreat, practice days, etc.

Junior & Senior High School Students:  Any ninth through twelfth grade students who wish to be confirmed should contact the rectory.

Adults:  Any adult who has not been confirmed should contact Deacon Daniel N. DeLucca, the R.C.I.A. Director, at the rectory.

To qualify as a sponsor, a person must:

Since the role of the Confirmation sponsor is to provide witness and support to the candidate, the church recommends that a Baptismal Godparent be the Confirmation sponsor. However, other sponsors (except parents) meeting the above qualifications are permissible. 

Sponsors must obtain a Letter of Eligibility from their parish priest attesting to the fact that they are qualified to be a Confirmation sponsor.
