Confirmation

 

Confirmation

Confirmation is the completion of our Baptism. We are sealed with the Holy Spirit, and equipped for life as Catholic Christians. Confirmation is celebrated with youth in or above grade 7*. This generally takes place in the spring, with formation beginning in January. For those in Catholic schools, the preparation is in partnership with the elementary school.

 

This year’s preparation schedule and online registration will be available late November 2026. Confirmation will be celebrated Wednesday, May 19, 2027: save the date!

 

For more information, please contact Iris or Mary, our Pastoral Associates, at the Parish Office

 

 

*Young people who have not yet been baptized, and are in grade 7 or above, will be prepared for Baptism, First Eucharist and Confirmation together. If this is applicable, make sure to indicate this in your registration.

 

 

Choosing a Sponsor

We do not journey alone in the Catholic community. A sponsor is a person who encourages and assists a candidate to embrace and actively practice the Catholic faith both before and after Confirmation. The sponsor also presents the candidate to the bishop (or his delegate) at the celebration of Confirmation.

 

Choosing a Sponsor is an important spiritual decision. For more information on the requirements for Sponsors, and advice for choosing, click here for our "Choosing a Confirmation Sponsor" handout.

 

 

Confirmation of Adults

For adults who have been baptised in the Catholic faith but did not receive Confirmation, or those who were baptized in another Christian Denomination but would like to become Catholic through Confirmation, please see our RCIA page, or contact the Parish directly.
