MPB Confirmation

Welcome to Our Most Precious Blood Confirmation Page
Let's start your journey toward Confirmation!

This year's program will take you through the entire Catholic faith in all its richness and vitality to help recap everything you've learned so far in your formation process. You will be captivated by the story, from Creation all the way through salvation history, and come to see how the sacraments, prayer, and discipleship are the keys to a happy life. 

The year is curated with nothing short of winning over your heart and making you a disciple of Christ. COME HOLY SPIRIT!

This page has content about the program we are using this year, Sacrament specific information we need to stay on top of to qualify your eligibility, important information for parents as well as your Confirmation Sponsor. 

Let's have an amazing year,
