SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION

YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU. YOU ARE CHOSEN BY GOD!
JOHN 15:16

Confirmation is the second of the sacraments in which we pray the Holy Spirit will fill those that are confirmed with grace that deepens their life in Christ and strengthens them to live the Catholic faith.

St. Mary’s uses the Chosen Program from Ascension Press. Students meet in the Gathering Center two Sundays a month from October through February. In addition, Candidates will have outside meetings with their sponsors, take part in an Evening of Recollection, and receive the sacrament of Confirmation in late winter.
