While Confirmation is a distinct and complete sacrament in its own right, its purpose is to perfect in us that which was begun in Baptism. Just as bodies and minds grow, Catholics believe that the soul also needs to grow in the life of grace. The Sacrament of Confirmation builds on the Sacraments of Baptism, Penance, and Holy Communion, completing the process of initiation into the Catholic Church.
The Confirmation Preparation program is a two-year program, typically taking place in Grade 9 and Grade 10, with reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation in spring of Grade 10.

The Confirmation program encourages candidates to more fully discover their faith through God and focuses on the importance of growing and sharing that faith within their family and community. By attending Mass and making time for prayer and volunteer service, our young adults are strengthened in their spiritual development and their personal commitment to their Roman Catholic faith.
