For every Catholic, participation in Parish Life is both a right and a duty. The church is spiritually strong and vibrant to the extent that the Baptized members of the Parish community live their faith and share it with others. In Confirmation, the candidate is agreeing to enter into that Parish community, so it is proper that he or she prepare for that serious obligation in the Parish setting.

 

Confirmation brings to fullness that life in the Holy Spirit into which we were first initiated at Baptism. Therefore, a comprehensive preparation for Confirmation necessitates proper planning of curriculum, serious catechist-formation, Clergy participation, parental involvement, and the prayerful support of the total Parish community.

Program components include liturgy, study, service, and retreat. Beyond just catechesis, our Parish program includes significant service project experiences; a spiritual retreat for enhanced religious formation; education in liturgy fostering active participation on the part of the candidates in special liturgies and celebrations of the Eucharist; and a Confirmation interview to develop mutual relationships and understanding of the candidates’ readiness and willingness to be confirmed.

 

Confirmation is not a Sacrament that is chosen for us as in Baptism. It is a serious choice we must make on our own. It is a commitment we make to live in the fullness of faith. Such a commitment requires careful preparation and the support of the family and Parish community.
