"But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us, by putting his seal on us and giving us his Spirit in our hearts as a first installment."
— St. Paul
Confirmation is conferred after Baptism to strengthen the work of the Holy Spirit begun in Baptism. Confirmation helps us to conform more closely to Christ. It calls us to accept a sense of mission to be sent out to the world to be a living vital witness to the teaching of Jesus Christ. St. Catherine Labouré Parish, along with the Archdiocese of Chicago, requires regular and active participation in a religious education program for a minimum of two consecutive years for a sacramental preparation prior to receiving a sacrament and is offered usually in grades 7 & 8.
