CONFIRMATION

Strengthened by the Holy Spirit. Sent forth as disciples.

Confirmation is a special time of grace in which the Holy Spirit strengthens young people to live their Catholic faith and share God’s love with the world.

The St. John the Baptist Confirmation Program prepares young people to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and continue growing as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
