Confirmation

Sacrament of Confirmation

Confirmation is a sacramental outpouring of the Holy Spirit that leaves a permanent mark on the soul as seals of the gifts of the Holy Spirit received at Baptism.   It completes Christian Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation) and empowers us to be Christ to the world (see CCC 1302-1305).

the Bishop of the Diocese of Youngstown chooses 8th grade as the appropriate time for the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation.  All parish eighth graders are invited annually to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

What are the requirements?

• The individual is in Grade 8 or older
• Has received the sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist.
• Has completed at two years of sacramental preparation (grade 7 and 8 with no more than 4 missed sessions annually)
• Attends all required sacramental preparation classes.
