Confirmation is the Sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Family involvement is key in preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation (as well as Baptism, First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion). Parents are the primary catechists and faith witnesses in a child’s life! Our parish is here to walk with you so that your child can experience Confirmation in all its fullness.
Throughout the Archdiocese of Kingston, the preparation for the reception of these Sacraments is now done in the parish. While our Catholic schools will continue to offer invaluable religious education to your child, parishes will now take on the immediate preparation for these sacraments to help you – the parent – in forming your child in the Catholic Faith.
All candidates will be expected to attend our sacramental formation sessions (6 sessions starting early 2025) prior to receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. Click below for a complete schedule.
Parent/Guardian information meeting will be on October 8, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. at the Parish Hall. If you are not able to attend this meeting, there will be a makeup meeting on October 15, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. at the Parish Hall.
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR 2024/2025.
To register for next year, check back in the Fall of 2025.
