Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation of the Catholic Church, along with Baptism and Eucharist. Confirmation will unleash the Holy Spirit in your life, just as it did on the apostles at Pentecost. In this way, Confirmation perpetuates Pentecost in the Church, so that the work of Jesus can be continued in every age. This sacrament, which provides the fullness of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, is of great spiritual assistance to our youth during this time in their lives.
At St. Cecilia we offer a two-year preparation for Confirmation including faith formation and sacramental catechesis. They begin the process as freshmen in 9th grade and receive Confirmation at the end of their sophomore year in 10th grade.
Our Candidates for Confirmation attend large-group teachings and small groups sessions Sunday nights, at least one Confirmation retreat, and take part in service opportunities in their church and community as a part of this preparation.
