The Sacrament of Confirmation invites high school teens to embrace their faith as their own and to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit for a life of courageous discipleship. For young people ages 14–18, this is a powerful moment of growth—spiritually, personally, and within the life of the Church. Building upon the grace first received in Baptism, Confirmation seals and deepens that grace, equipping teens to stand firm in their beliefs and live as witnesses to Christ in their schools, friendships, families, and future vocations.
Our preparation process is designed specifically for adolescents, meeting them where they are while challenging them to grow. Through prayer, engaging catechesis, meaningful discussion, service opportunities, and retreat experiences, candidates come to understand the beauty of the Church’s teachings and the responsibility of Christian maturity. Special attention is given to fostering a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and an openness to the gifts of the Holy Spirit—wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. Each teen chooses a sponsor, a fully initiated and practicing Catholic who serves as a mentor and spiritual companion throughout the journey. Sponsors walk alongside candidates through prayer, conversation, and example, helping them discern how God is calling them to holiness.
Confirmation is typically celebrated during a solemn Mass with the bishop, who lays hands on each candidate and anoints them with sacred Chrism, sealing them with the Holy Spirit. This sacred moment marks not a graduation, but a commissioning—sending our young people forth to participate actively in the Church and to share the light of Christ with the world.
We are honored to accompany our teens during this important step in their faith journey and look forward to witnessing the ways the Holy Spirit will work through them.
