The Sacrament of Confirmation

 The Sacrament of Confirmation is, with Baptism and Eucharist, one of the three Sacraments of Initiation; Confirmation completes and confirms the grace of baptism.  At the Rite of Confirmation, the candidate is anointed with the sacred chrism and the baptized person is enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit, and more than ever obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed. (Catechism of the Catholic Church).  

8th Grade Confirmation:   Our Youth Confirmation Program is a two year program with preparation beginning in the 7th grade Edge Program and is completed at the end of 8th grade year, consisting of two consecutive years of Faith Formation. 

High School Confirmation:  We also offer confirmation for high school students.  Please contact Sue Haines at Sue@ststephencatholic.org for information and to enroll. 

Adult Confirmation Program: - 6 - 9 week program including a retreat, please contact our Faith Formation Office for more information.

Hi,  Parents and Guardians of our Newly Confirmed youth,
Confirmation classes have come to an end, however enhancing our knowledge and understanding, and defending our Catholic Faith has not. We will be offering "Apologetics" on Monday evenings beginning this Monday, January 24th. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our faith in small group settings. Bring your bible. We will have youth bibles available. There is no fee or registration. Just come! Monday Evenings 6P-7:15P at the Family Life Center.

Hope to see you Monday Evening!
Blessings,

Kim Davis, Coordinator of Faith Formation
