Confirmation

Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?

There are seven gifts of the Holy Spirit we are given at Baptism through God’s grace.
1. Wisdom 2. Understanding 3. Knowledge 4. Courage 5. Right Judgment 6. Reverence 7. Wonder and Awe

Galatians 5: 22 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, control

Confirmation is usually celebrated n eighth grade and is an opportunity for candidates to deepen their understanding of their Catholic faith and the mission of Christ. The Confirmation interview, service hours, three workshops and retreat are only PART of the requirements to celebrate this sacrament of initiation. Monthly Generations of Faith attendance from September thru May (9 sessions) and weekly Mass attendance is vital to ensure their commitment to prioritize their faith first.

Attendance at ALL sessions, September thru May, of Generations of Faith is required. Interview information, retreat information and Confirmation date will be mailed out to registered families when the schedule is completed.
