CONFIRMATION

FOR TEENS

Registration for Confirmation Prep will open on June, 21 2023

What is Confirmation?

Confirmation is the last sacrament of initiation into the Catholic Church. Preparation is a weekly program for our students to be equipped to receive the sacrament and live out their faith.

Who can be Confirmed?

Baptized, Catholic Teens who have reached the age of 15, have made their First Communion, are attending Sunday mass, frequenting Confession, and are willing to live out and witness their faith in Jesus Christ. Students must also display a personal desire for the sacrament and growth in their spiritual life throughout the year.

Note: Students are to prepare for Confirmation at the parish they are regular parishioners at. If you are not a parishioner at SEAS, please contact your parish's confirmation coordinator to join their program.

Dates and Times

Confirmation Prep classes meet Wednesdays from 6-7:30pm in the PCC. Classes begin 9/13/23 and go through 4/17/24. Full schedule coming soon.

Sponsor

When receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation, a candidate will choose a sponsor to be an example and mentor in the Christian life:

  • It is appropriate, but not required, that the sponsor be one of the baptismal godparents
  • 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.
