Confirmation - Adults
-
-
The Sacrament of Confirmation is the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Its effects are to:
Root us more deeply in divine filiation (being children of God)
Unites us more firmly to Christ
Increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us
Strengthens our bond with the Church
Associates us more closely to her mission of bearing witness to Christ
Helps us and more strictly obliges us to spread and defend the faith by word and deed
Confirmation configures Catholics for a full and active mission of service to Christ. In this sense Confirmation is a spiritual “growing up.”
Confirmation imprints in the soul a character, a certain spiritual and indelible Sign, and so can only be received validly once. Confirmed persons are called to profess faith in Christ publicly, and to spread the Gospel message, in accord with the ability and circumstances of their life. The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit received in Confirmation are: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. Receiving this Sacrament, with Baptism and Communion, completes a Catholic's initiation into the one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

Adult Confirmation - Fall 2026 Schedule
The Sacrament of Confirmation builds on what was begun in Baptism and what was nourished in Holy Eucharist. It completes the process of initiation into the Christian community and it matures the soul for the spiritual work ahead. These sessions are for adults who have been baptized Catholic and made their First Holy Communion.
Rob Weierman will facilitate eight 90-minute sessions: Sundays 1:00 – 2:30 PM / make-up class on Wednesdays 6:00 – 7:30 PM.
