SACRAMENTS

Confirmation

Confirmation is the third of the initiation sacraments, completing the cycle from Baptism and First Holy Communion. Confirmation strengthens our bond to the Holy Spirit and recalls the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

“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.” Catechism of the Catholic Church (1316)
Preparation for Confirmation is part of the St. Thomas religious education program for students in their middle school years. Adult confirmation is part of the RCIA program. Please contact the parish office for further information.
