High school youth preparing for Confirmation will receive the sacrament in the Spring every other year.
Adults involved in the RCIA process receive the sacrament at the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday evening.
"On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied." ~Acts 19:5-6
Confirmation "confirms", strengthens, and perfects baptismal grace. The laying on of hands is recognized as the origin of the sacrament and as a continuation of the grace imparted at Pentecost. Confirmation imprints an indelible character on the Christian's soul .
Confirmation is a one-year process for high school youth which runs every other year. Most often freshmen and sophomores take part in the program. We will again be using the Decision Point program published by Dynamic Catholic. The entire program is available online here.
RCIA is for adults who are either: a) beginning their journey toward becoming a member of the Church, or b) have not received all the sacraments of initiation. These sacraments are: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. These are received at the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday evening.
