Confirmation


Confirmation

Catholic youth and adults, and those becoming Catholic, are strengthened and sealed by the Holy Spirit through the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Annunciation’s program of immediate preparation for Confirmation begins in September with the Sacrament of Confirmation being celebrated in the spring.  Our youth typically receive the Sacrament of Confirmation during their eighth-grade year.

Confirmation Bible verse 2023-2024
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." 
-John 14:26


Youth Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation

At Annunciation Parish, we wish to work with you for the support of your son/daughter’s deepening relationship with Jesus Christ begun in the Sacrament of Baptism and nourished in the Eucharist. The Sacrament of Confirmation completes his/her full entry into the Faith life of the Catholic Church. In this Sacrament the fullness and empowerment of the Holy Spirit is poured out on the person being confirmed. Through your practice of our Faith in your own life and by your choice to have your son/daughter baptized and raised in our Faith, you have been preparing him/her for this Sacramental completion of Confirmation all along the way. Annunciation’s program of immediate preparation for Confirmation begins in September.
