It is typical for Catholics who entered into Baptism as children to be Confirmed in their faith and Christian witness when they are teenagers.
However, when a Christian who has already recieved the Sacrament of Baptism in their own denomination and now seeks to enter the Catholic Church, along with Baptized Catholics who never recieved Confirmation, special preparation for this Sacrament is offered.
In these circumstances, both Baptized Catholics and Baptized "becoming Catholics", share a journey together to be Confirmed in their Christian character to be witnesses to Christ in the world.
Meeting together regularly with the pastor, deacon and a team of commited parishioners, the path towards completing your full Christian initiation in the Catholic Church is traced out. It will be a path you will share with men and women seeking Baptism for the first time as well as Catholics seeking deeper commitment and renewal.
The goal of this journey will take you to the yearly celebration of the Easter Vigil, the night before Easter Sunday, when the Church throughout the world anticipates the joy of Christ's Resurrection and victory over death. During this event the Church Baptizes, and Confirms. All those who are Baptized and Confirmed complete their Christian Initiation by recieving their First Holy Communion at the Easter Vigil Celebration.
To explore how you may complete your Christian Initiation, speak with any of the clergy after any of the Masses or contact us and we'll send you the details.
