Confirmation

“When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit
had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.” – Acts 8: 14 – 17

The Sacrament of Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Initiation into the Catholic Church, together with Baptism and Holy Eucharist. Confirmation completes the grace of Baptism by a special outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts seal or "confirm" the baptized in Union with Christ and equip them for active participation in the worship and apostolic life of the Church.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, # 1285)

The age established by the Archdiocese of Santa for our youth to receive the holy Sacrament of Confirmation is in the high school years. The earlierst a baptized youth may receive the sacrament is in 9th Grade. Please contact the Confirmation Coordinator for any further information.
