CONFIRMATION
“Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Confirmation is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation in the Catholic Church. In this sacrament, we are strengthened by the Holy Spirit to live out our Catholic faith more fully. Confirmation deepens the grace we received at Baptism and equips us to be active witnesses to Christ in the world.
At St. Peter’s, Confirmation preparation typically begins in the fall and is open to students in Grade 6 and up. The program includes formation sessions, a retreat, a rehearsal, and the celebration of the sacrament in the spring.
How Preparation Works
One Parent Gathering Session (Parent Only)
Six Student Gathering Sessions (Student Only, Parents attend session 6)
One Weekend Retreat (dates to be provided by the Diocese)
Preparation includes time for prayer, learning about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and building community.
- The date of the Confirmation celebration is assigned by the Bishop and usually takes place between May and June.
Specific dates and times as well as additional details will be available at the first session.
Our sessions this year will be offered on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6pm until 7:30pm. Our Parent Gathering will take place on November 24th & 25th, 2025 (please note, you only need to pick one session to attend).
