Confirmation

Confirmation perfects Baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit in order to root us more deeply in the divine filiation, incorporate us more firmly into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church, associate us more closely with her mission, and help us bear witness to the Christian faith in words accompanied by deeds. (CCC 1316)

Bound more intimately to the Church by the sacrament of confirmation, [the baptized] are endowed by the Holy Spirit with special strength; hence they are more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith both by word and by deed as true witnesses of Christ. (no. 11)

Mary, Queen of Peace | Sundays 3:00-4:15PM 
Our Confirmation program is now administered to teens as a parish family: the parishes of Mary, Queen of Peace, Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Joseph.

Middle school is open to teens in the 7th or 8th grade and High School is open to those in 9th-12th grade during the 25/26 school year. Participants should be baptized and have received their First Holy Communion in the Catholic Church.

We recommend that participating youth be prepared to commit fully to the requirements of Confirmation preparation classes. These include:

1. Attend Mass every Sunday and on Holy days of Obligation.
2. Attend and participate fully in the preparation sessions. No more than 3 absences are allowed.
3. Participate in 15 - Works of Mercy service hours as stipulated in the preparation guidelines.
4. Attend the full-day Confirmation retreat.

Our parent orientation session will be held on Sunday, September 14th. Regular sessions begin on Sunday, September 21st.
