Youth Confirmation
“We commonly speak of the sacrament of “chrismation”, a word that signifies “anointing”. And, in effect, through the oil called “sacred chrism” we are conformed, in the power of the Spirit, to Jesus Christ, who is the only true “Anointed One”, the “Messiah”, the Holy One of God. The word “confirmation” then reminds us that this sacrament brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace: it unites us more firmly to Christ, it renders our bond with the Church more perfect, and it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith, ... to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of his cross. …When we welcome the Holy Spirit into our hearts and allow him to act, Christ makes himself present in us and takes shape in our lives; through us, it will be he — Christ himself — who prays, forgives, gives hope and consolation, serves the brethren, draws close to the needy and to the least, creates community and sows peace. Think how important this is: by means of the Holy Spirit, Christ himself comes to do all this among us and for us. That is why it is important that children and young people receive the sacrament of confirmation.”
(Pope Francis, General Audience, Wednesday, January 29, 2014)
Confirmation preparation class will meet every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the Month from 6-7:30 p.m. These classes are designed to help the candidates dig deeper into the mysteries of their faith while providing a comprehensive catechesis for the sacrament so that they might more readily live out this evangelical mission.
The curriculum used for Confirmation will be YOUCAT Confirmation Book.
Confirmation is a one-year process. The standard enrollment period for Confirmation is when the youth will be entering the 8th grade year. It is not required to be enrolled in Youth Group in addition to Confirmation preparation, but highly advised.
The Diocese designates the 8th grade year as the normal period for confirmation. Children younger than 8th grade must receive permission from the Bishop to be confirmed. Please contact Maria Obradovich for more information.
