Confirmation

Overview

Confirmation is offered to candidates in grade 6 and up.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is a big step in the growth and development of every Catholic! At Confirmation, we affirm our commitment to God and the Church and receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This sacrament deepens our faith, brings us into a deeper friendship with Jesus, and strengthens us to share his love with others.

What does the Holy Spirit do?

After Jesus’ resurrection, his apostles believed in him but were afraid to share the Good News with the world. Instead, they locked themselves in an upper room. But when the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were filled with supernatural courage. They burst from the upper room and began to preach, even in languages they didn’t know. They were transformed!

When you’re confirmed, you might not speak in different languages, but you’ll receive the exact same gifts the Apostles received at Pentecost. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, you are given the courage to live your faith and strive for holiness. The Holy Spirit also gives you supernatural gifts and graces to help you serve the church and others.

During the pandemic, I found myself quarantining alone with my two dogs. I was working full-time from home and only stepped outside my apartment to get groceries. I found myself with a lot of time on my hands — more time than I ever had — and my mind would drift. One of the pressures that kept...

Six daily habits for spiritual resiliency

I encountered my own deconstruction a few years ago. I grew up in an exciting, charismatic, evangelistic environment full of mountaintop moments and so when I found myself for the first time deprived of those experiences, I became less and less certain that the Gospel had much to offer to people...

Holiness is now

You and I are called, by virtue of our baptism, to lead a life of holiness and become a saint— there is no alternative. Feels like a lot to live up to, doesn’t it? A little like an ultimatum. It can sound like God has too high expectations of us. It can bring us to two kinds of conclusions: Maybe...
