About Confirmation
Preparation for Confirmation at Sacred Heart Church aims at leading the candidates towards a more intimate union with Christ and more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit – his actions, his gifts, and his biddings – in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. To this end, the program for Confirmation, strives to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community.
The family of the candidate must be registered as parishioners of Sacred Heart Church. Exceptional cases may be considered on an individual basis. The confirmation program is open to a candidate who has been baptized, received the Sacrament of Holy Communion and who will at least be a sophomore (10th grade) at the time of Confirmation. Students at the 11th or 12th grade level who have not received the Sacrament are also welcome to register. The program includes classes, retreats and activities as well as participation in the Sacred Heart Youth Alliance.
Confirmation is celebrated in the spring or fall of every other year. Please contact the parish office for further information. Confirmation for adults can be arranged individually.
