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 2025. Our parish celebration of Confirmation is usually held in January. 

Our session topics are as follows:
Session 1    Introductions, Responding to God's Call 
Session 2   Sacraments, Confirmation, Sponsors, Saint's Name
Session 3    Having a Catholic Prayer Life
Session 4   Liturgical Seasons, Understanding the Catholic Church
Session 5   Catholic Family Life, We Are Called to Serve
Session 6   Living the Catholic Christian Moral Life
Session 7   Celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation and
                   Preparing for the Celebration of Confirmation

Please contact us for more information.
