Confirmation is a 2-year process which generally occurs during the 10th and 11th grades. During this time candidates attend retreats, participate in service projects, as well as other activities. For adults who have not been confirmed the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is available. For more information contact the Church Office.
"Confirmation perfects Baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit in order to root us more deeply in the divine filiation, incorporate us more firmly into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church, associate us more closely with her mission, and help us bear witness to the Christian faith inwords accompanied by deeds."
