About the Sacrament of Confirmation

The Sacrament of Confirmation is a sacrament of initiation, and the completion of the sacrament of Baptism.  From usccb.org:  "Confirmation enriches the baptized with the strength of the Holy Spirit so that they can better witness to Christ in word and deed (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], no. 1285). Anointed by the Holy Spirit at Confirmation, Christians strengthen their bond with the Church and become better equipped to carry out the Church’s mission of love and service."

Confirmation Program at All Saints Church

 At All Saints Catholic Church children receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in the spring of their 8th grade year.  To prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation, children must be enrolled in a formal program of catechesis either through the the parish religious education program, a local Catholic school, or an approved home school program.

The Religious Education (RE) office has a two-year sacramental preparation program for children and teens. This means that children and teens who are receiving a sacrament will need to receive two years of religious education instruction.  In order to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, all children must be registered for the sacrament with the RE Office. 
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And you will renew the face of the earth.  Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the same Spirit help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
