Sacred Heart Confirmation Program

The Sacrament of Confirmation will strengthen and celebrate the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life. The requirements of this Confirmation preparation program are designed to help you better understand God, the Church, and yourself as a Catholic Christian. The most important way you can prepare for the Sacrament is to receive the Eucharist regularly - it is the center of our faith. The Mass is the highest form of prayer - we are privileged to receive the very Word and Flesh of our Lord! We cannot adequately be prepared to receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit without the weekly Sunday Eucharist celebration.

Please see the main Calendar for the class and retreat schedule.

We are happy to announce that the date of Confirmation has been set and approved by Most Reverend Arthur Kennedy Bishop Emeritus for Sunday, October 18th at 9 AM. 

Workcamp is a 5-night service trip for teenagers, organized by Catholic Heart Workcamp ("CHWC"). This year, workcampers will serve in Groton, MA, just one hour away from Newton!

The role of the sponsor is an important one for the Sacrament of Confirmation.  The Church sees the sponsor as a fully initiated Catholic who worships regularly at Mass, and who actively supports the Confirmed by prayers, guidance, and by living a faithful Catholic life. Please have the person you have chosen for your sponsor complete the following form:

As you prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, you are asked to choose a Confirmation saint as your patron/patroness. You will be confirmed using this name. The saint you choose should reflect a
