Sacrament of Confirmation for Adults
You have expressed interest in receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation here at St. Stephen. We welcome you. May the Lord guide you and give you peace and wisdom during this process.
The Adult Confirmation process is a wonderful interactive opportunity for Catholics who have not had the opportunity to receive the sacrament of Confirmation to complete their full initiation into the Catholic Church. Sessions are weekly, beginning in the fall. The Confirmation celebration takes place annually and is arranged in accordance with the Bishop’s calendar. -
