The prophets of the Old Testament foretold that God's Spirit would rest upon the Messiah to sustain his mission. Their prophecy was fulfilled when Jesus the Messiah was conceived by the Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. The Holy Spirit descended on Jesus on the occasion of his baptism by John. Jesus' entire mission occurred in communion with the Spirit. Before he died, Jesus promised that the Spirit would be given to the Apostles and to the entire Church. After his death, he was raised by the Father in the power of the Spirit.
Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. . . . We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service.
Our Youth Confirmation program is open to students in 9th through 12th grade who are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. This program is a two-year process designed to help teens grow in their faith, strengthen their relationship with Christ, and fully embrace their role in the Church.
Through engaging classes, discussions, and spiritual formation, students will deepen their understanding of the Holy Spirit, the teachings of the Catholic Church, and what it means to live as a committed disciple.
Class Schedule:
We encourage all participants to be actively involved in parish life as they continue their journey of faith.
We look forward to accompanying your teen on this important step in their faith journey!
