Who can be Confirmed?

  • Students must have been Baptized and received first Communion before being Confirmed.
  • Confirmation preparation is a school year long program.
  • Available to students who will be 15 years old at the time of Confirmation.

  • The sponsor cannot be one of the candidate’s parents.
  • He/She should be in good standing with the Church
  • He/She should be 16 years or older
  • He/She must be fully initiated Sacramentally into the life of the Church (Baptized, Confirmed and received first Communion)

The sponsor form is available in English and Spanish. Please return it as soon as possible. Your sponsor is responsible for filling out the Form, and having their pastor sign off and seal the document. Completed forms can be dropped off, mailed, or turned in at Confirmation sessions.

Confirmation Saint

At Confirmation, a student takes the name of a Saint whose life inspires them to a further commitment to Jesus Christ. Not only an inspiration in story and virtue, but a student looks for a Saint who they aspire to be like in regards to their masculinity or femininity. Because of this, students are asked by the Bishop to pick saints of the same sex as the student.

*The name a student takes should not be in honor of a grandparent or relative. While it is honorable to pick someone close to you, the Church has held it must be a Saint.

When you have chosen your saint, please fill out the Confirmation Saint form. Link found below.
