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
- Sessions are held at St. Peter’s, dates are in the process of being finalized
- Preparation includes time for prayer, learning about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and building community.
- A retreat and rehearsal are part of the preparation.
- The date of the Confirmation celebration is assigned by the Bishop and usually takes place between May and June.
Registration for the Sacrament of Confirmation for the 2025/2026 year is open.
We are finalizing the days and dates for our sacraments. We anticipate that there will be two evening options for each session and a third night is still being worked on.
