Confirmation

 

Confirmation is a Sacrament of initiation, conversion, and renewal. The Confirmandi who present themselves for Confirmation become more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit."
(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285)

“Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the ‘sacraments of Christian initiation…’ [T]he reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace…[B]y the sacrament of Confirmation [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit.  Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1285)
 

11th graders for the 2021-22 school year who have been baptized and received the Sacrament of Holy Communion
are able to receive the sacrament of Confirmation.
