Confirmation completes the sacramental grace of Baptism. For us it is th last of the three sacramental of initiation. It is our tradition that HIgh School candidates can apply for the sacrament in their Junior year. The perpetration process includes; catechesis, service and a retreat weekend.

Please make sure you have given a copy of your Baptismal Certificate to the Parish Office.  This information is needed to prepare the certificate for Confirmation.
