Other details:
Our Confirmation faith formation consists of weekly catechesis, fellowship, prayer, and praise. As a Parish subscribing to Lifeteen we strive to lead our teens closer to Christ with each ministry we provide for the youth.
Our Confirmandi will be sealed with the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Counsel, Fortitude(Courage), Fear of the Lord (Wonder & Awe), and Piety (Reverence). The Gifts will help them bear witness to Him before the world and build the body of Christ.
Confirmandi will get involved in community service, and volunteer their time, treasure, and talent.
Confirmation is not an end to church involvement and faith development. On the contrary, Confirmation is another step in the ongoing commitment to what it means to be a Christian and follower of Jesus.
