Adults ages 18 or older who are baptized Catholic, received Eucharist, and have never received the Sacrament of Confirmation are invited to consider completing your initiation sacraments. Our Adult Confirmation process is an interactive process which emphasizes the basics of Catholic teaching respecting the many questions, concerns and responsibilities of adults living in their current life situations.

We offer seven sessions in the fall, usually on Sunday evenings from 4 to 5:30 p.m. (We are open to changing the day of the week and the time of our sessions based on work schedules.)

Registration is now open for our Fall sessions which begin in early October 2023. Our parish celebration of Confirmation is scheduled for Tuesday, January 16, 2024, at 6 p.m.

Our tentative schedule is as follows:
Oct.   8    Introductions, Responding to God's Call 
Oct. 29   Sacraments, Confirmation, Sponsors, Saint's Name
Nov.  5    Having a Catholic Prayer Life
Nov. 19   Liturgical Seasons, Understanding the Catholic Church
Dec.   3   Catholic Family Life, We Are Called to Serve
Dec. 17    Living the Catholic Christian Moral Life
Jan.    7    Celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation and
                Preparing for the Celebration of Confirmation
