The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated at Saint Patrick Catholic Church annually.
Youth who are baptized into the Catholic Church, have received First Eucharist and will be sixteen years of age by June 30, 2016, are invited to register by August 30, 2015.
Preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation uses the Dynamic Catholic Confirmation program founded by Matthew Kelly.
The USCCB provides a though provoking article on the Sacrament of Confirmation and offers the following reflection questions to help with discerning readiness for the Sacrament:
- What does it mean to be part of the Body of Christ?
- What gifts have you been given? How are you called to use those gifts to benefit others?
- Who are you called to be? What are you called to do with your life?
- What is the mission of the Church? What is your role in carrying it out? To what are you commissioned?
- How do the lives of the saints inspire you to “give off the aroma of Christ”?
We invite the Saint Patrick Catholic Church community to pray for the youth who are discerning their readiness to receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit through the Sacrament of Confirmation.
