Confirmation
For on him the Father, God, has set his seal. (John 6:27)
Scriptural Foundation for Confirmation
Preparing for Confirmation at St. Clare Parish
Confirmation preparation builds on the foundation laid at Baptism and supports our young people as they continue their lifelong journey of faith. Through the sacrament of Confirmation, students receive the Holy Spirit
in a deeper way - uniting them more fully to Christ, strengthening the gifts of the Spirit
within them, and empowering them to live as bold, faithful witnesses of Christ through their words and actions.
In response to Archbishop Sample’s recent change in the age of Confirmation - from high school to 7th grade - we’ve developed a pro-
gram that meets the needs of both middle
and high school students. Our Confirmation program blends solid catechesis with meaning-
ful experiences that foster community and faith in action. Students will grow spiritually and socially through team-building activities, a weekend retreat, monthly service projects as
a class, and a shared spiritual experience with their sponsors.
We encourage you to spend time in prayer and conversation with your youth to discern whether this is the right year for them to begin their Confirmation preparation.
