Adult Confirmation Program
Adult Confirmation Program is designed to help facilitate the reaffirmation of a believer’s faith through preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation in a series of several sessions depending on the individual candidate.
Who may attend? Any adult, twenty-one and over who has received the Sacraments of Baptism/Eucharist/Reconciliation and who, for a valid reason, cannot participate in any other program in preparation for Confirmation.

- An experienced connection and participation in the Church before, during and after the completion of the program.
- “Active, conscious participation” in the Eucharistic Liturgy of the Church each week.
- The submission of the appropriate documentation, (e.g. Certificate of Baptism & Certificate of First Communion)
To Register:
- Complete the parish Adult Confirmation Registration Form
