"... Be Sealed With the Gifts of the Holy Spirit."
Confirmation
In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is "sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit" and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ.
The prophets of the Old Testament foretold that God's Spirit would rest upon the Messiah to sustain his mission. Their prophecy was fulfilled when Jesus the Messiah was conceived by the Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. The Holy Spirit descended on Jesus on the occasion of his baptism by John. Jesus' entire mission occurred in communion with the Spirit. Before he died, Jesus promised that the Spirit would be given to the Apostles and to the entire Church. After his death, he was raised by the Father in the power of the Spirit.
Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. . . . We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service.

Dear Parents and Teens,
We look forward to continuing the faith formation of the many wonderful teens in our parish family! In addition to classes,
15 service hours are mandatory each year. Attendance is required at a minimum of 50% of all scheduled Holy Hours each year. Participation in our Youth Group, while not mandatory is expected. Second-year students must write their Letter of Intent to Msgr. McCormick and complete a Saint Name project. A retreat is a requirement, and no student will receive the Sacrament without attending a retreat. Comprehensive details are available in our Teen Confirmation Guidelines Booklet.
