Set Ablaze by the Holy Spirit
Confirmation strengthens our bond with Christ, equips us with the Holy Spirit, and sends us forth to live and share the faith.
About Confirmation
Confirmation is the completion of our Christian initiation. Just as Jesus empowered His disciples at Pentecost, we too receive the Spirit to become His witnesses. Our teens prepare through two years of catechesis, sponsor relationships, reflection, and prayer.
At the Bishop’s invitation each spring, they receive the fullness of the Spirit and are sent forth in mission.
Confirmation Ministry
Our Confirmation Ministry brings together Parish youth in Grade 8 from our Parish School of Religion (PSR), Holy Trinity day school and Family Based Catechesis (FBC).
Our 8th Grade parents and/or candidates gather for formation in community, fellowship, and prayer experiences at several times throughout the year.
These gatherings lead up to the celebration of Confirmation and beyond in a period of mystagogy that takes the newly confirmed into deeper insights and appreciation for the full outpouring of the Gift of the Holy Spirit received in Confirmation.
