A Sacrament is a visible sign of an invisible grace, instituted for our justification. ~The Roman Catechism

For adults seeking Baptism, completion of preparation classes are required.

Confirmation

The Sacrament of Confirmation for Youth is a two-year process. Please register with the Faith Formation Director to enroll. Comprising weekly classes, weekly attendance at Mass, prayer, Holy Hour, and mandatory retreat, the youth along with their parents and sponsors are required to participate. Sponsors must be Catholics in good standing, age 16 years, confirmed, validly married in the Church, and practicing the Catholic Faith. Each sponsor must fill out a diocesan form confirming their eligibility to be a sponsor.
