Sacrament of Confirmation for 7th-12th Graders
Through the Sacrament of Baptism, we are adopted as sons & daughters into God's family --- the Catholic Church. Through the Sacrament of Confirmation, our identity as children of God is perfected & strengthened by the Holy Spirit.
Through the Sacrament of Baptism, we are adopted as sons & daughters into God's family --- the Catholic Church. With the Holy Eucharist, we are nourished by the Body and Blood of Christ.
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 in words accompanied by deeds.
Our hope is that your child will be immersed into the riches of our Catholic Faith, learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and give their yes to God.
