Confirmation
"Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.  For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed."" CCC 1285

Requirements for preparation:

  • Attend a full year of Faith Formation classes or attendance at Catholic School the year before receiving the sacrament (80+% attendance).
  • Attend a full year of Faith Formation classes or attendance at Catholic School the year of the sacrament (80+% attendance) .
  • The family regularly attendance at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation (either in person or via livestream)
  • ​Be a register member of St Francis Catholic parish.
  • If the family is prepared and ready to support the candidate, Confirmation may be received as young as 6th grade.
