Confirmation is one of the sacraments of initiation, along with Baptism and Eucharist. While baptism is the sacrament of rebirth to a new and supernatural life, confirmation is the sacrament of maturity and coming of age. It is conferred by the anointing of Chrism oil and the laying on of hands by the Bishop. The Sacrament of Confirmation draws us into a greater awareness of the Holy Spirit, which we received at Baptism. Through this sacrament, we confirm the presence of the baptismal gifts we have already received; we are sealed with the undeserved and unearned gift of the Holy Spirit.

Adults looking to join or return to receive Confirmation should call the rectory.

Choosing a Confirmation Sponsor

A Confirmation sponsor supports the candidate as they prepare to become full members of the church. It's an important role to play, and one no sponsor should take lightly. Choosing a sponsor is also a decision that candidates should take seriously. 

Rules & Requirements There are certain rules and requirements with regard to just who can and cannot be a Confirmation sponsor.

In general, a sponsor must be at least 18 years of age. In addition, candidates cannot choose one of their parents to act as a sponsor. However, godparents or even siblings often do qualify as sponsors. A Confirmation sponsor must also be a confirmed member of the Catholic church. The sponsor must also be a practicing Catholic who attends mass. Click Here to download the Sponsor Form.  This form will need to be signed by the Parish where the sponsor is registered.
