WELCOME TO YOUR CONFIRMATION JOURNEY!
WELCOME TO YOUR CONFIRMATION JOURNEY!
If you're in high school and interested in being Confirmed, welcome!
Confirmation is the third Sacrament of Initiation (the first two being Baptism & First Holy Communion) into the Church that Jesus Christ left us to belong to. Confirmation is about encountering the Grace of God through the Holy Spirit and getting the chance for us as individuals to say "YES!" to our faith. To be Confirmed also means to be committing to a life as a Catholic, sharing your love for Jesus Christ with others in the way God specifically calls you to do so.
Si estás en la escuela preparatoria y estás interesado en ser confirmado, ¡bienvenido!
La Confirmación es el tercer Sacramento de Iniciación (los dos primeros son el Bautismo y la Primera Comunión) en la Iglesia a la que Jesucristo nos dejó pertenecer. La confirmación se trata de encontrar la Gracia de Dios a través del Espíritu Santo y tener la oportunidad de que nosotros como individuos digamos "¡SÍ!" a nuestra fe. Ser confirmado también significa comprometerse con una vida como católico, compartiendo su amor por Jesucristo con los demás en la forma en que Dios lo llama específicamente a hacerlo.
If you're a parent wanting your teen to start this program, and they're not willing, that's okay! Have them join anyway, and hope they will open themselves enough so that the Holy Spirit can enter and work within them. Please note, that starting the Confirmation process DOES NOT commit teens to be Confirmed. It is a process that will hopefully bring teens to a point where they decide to accept God's graces through the Sacrament.
As a parent, please make sure you are also leading by example. Living a life growing in relationship with Jesus, attending Sunday (or Saturday) Mass, and praying - both privately and with your family - frequently. Youth will only take this as seriously as they see you take your faith.
Si usted es un padre que quiere que su hijo adolescente comience este programa y no está dispuesto, ¡está bien! Pídales que se inscriba de todos modos, y espere que se abran lo suficiente para que el Espíritu Santo pueda entrar y trabajar dentro de ellos. Tenga en cuenta que comenzar el proceso de Confirmación NO compromete a los adolescentes a ser Confirmados. Es un proceso que, con suerte, llevará a los adolescentes a un punto en el que decidan aceptar las gracias de Dios a través del Sacramento.
Como padre, asegúrese de que también predica con el ejemplo. Viviendo una vida creciendo en relación con Jesús, asistiendo a la misa del domingo (o sábado) y orando, tanto en privado como con su familia, con frecuencia. Los jóvenes solo tomarán esto tan en serio como vean que usted toma su fe.
CONFIRMATION REGISTRATION PORGRAM IS NOW CLOSED. NEXT REGISTRATION: JULY 2025
how does this program work?
how does this program work?
At St. Catherine's, preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation is done over a One-Year Program (October-June). During the year of the program, young people are offered the space and opportunity to be able to gain a deeper understanding of our Catholic faith and of themselves in their relationship with God. We hope to lead them to the heart of Christ and willingly choose Him in their Confirmation. It is through Confirmation, that young people will renew the Baptismal Promises that their parents and sponsors made for them when they were younger. Because it is a High School Confirmation Program, candidates must be between the ages of 14 to 17 years old and be in high School throughout the duration of the program year to participate.
