Are you ready to be Confirmed?
-
In addition to meeting Confirmation eligibility requirements, you must be prepared to fully give your heart and your time to all Confirmation preparation activities. Reception of Confirmation by the candidate "obliges them more firmly to be witnesses to Christ by work and deed and to spread and defend the faith" (Canon 879)
Be confirmed when you can fully commit both to the process and to the practice of our religion.
The candidate and a parent will be asked to sign a covenant affirming their understanding.
