Registration for our Confirmation for the 2025-2026 year is now closed. Please don't hesitate to contact Zach Moore at [email protected] with any questions.
Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Christian Initiation of the Catholic Church, along with Baptism and the Eucharist. It bestows the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, which strengthen the faithful to be a powerful witness to God’s love and might in word and deed.
“Like Baptism which it completes, Confirmation is given only once, for it to imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual mark, the ‘character,’ which is the sign that Jesus Christ has marked a Christian with the seal of his Spirit by clothing him with power from on high so that he may be his witness.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1304)
During confirmation, a priest or a bishop lays his hands on the candidate and anoints them with Chrism, a holy oil meant to symbolize the spreading of “the aroma of Christ” (2 Cor 2:15).
Here at St. Patrick Parish our Confirmation Preparation is part of our youth ministry program, St. Pat's Youth. We are so excited to be able to walk alongside the young people of our parish community as they prepare to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Our preparation process lasts for one year and is offered to all of our 8th grade students. Though all of our 6th-12th graders are always welcome to join us for our other youth ministry programming which you can learn more about on our youth ministry page here.
