Confirmation is a celebration of a growing relationship with God and the Catholic community. Candidates should regularly attend Mass, demonstrate willingness to participate in the life of the community, and plan to continue their faith formation after the celebration of this sacrament.
Sponsors for Confirmation, as for Baptism, must be fully initiated (Confirmed), practicing Catholics. The sponsor's role is to share their own faith experiences with the candidate and help the candidate integrate values and faith into their daily life.
Adults who may have never received the Sacrament of Confirmation are always welcome. For further information, please contact Margaret Churnetski or Madeline Merkl at the Christian Formation Office, 334-3023.
Parents who believe their child is ready or is maturing toward readiness, should plan to attend the sacrament information meeting in September. Parents may attend at any of the 3 Rush Henrietta parishes: September 14th at St. Joseph's, September 16th at Guardian Angels and September 22nd at Good Shepherd. The same information will be shared at each and registration forms for the sacraments of Eucharist, Reconciliation and Confirmation will be available. If you have any questions please call the Christian Formation Office, 334-3023 or contact Margaret Churnetski, mchurnet@dor.org.
