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.
Confirmation will be held on Sunday, October 13, 2019, at 9:00am Mass. Mass will be celebrated by Most Rev. Robert Reed, Auxiliary Bishop of Boston.
The Confirmation Summer Journal was handed out in class and must be completed before your "exit interview" in August or September. A .pdf copy of the journal can be found here.
