Confirmation
Confirmation, the second sacrament of Christian initiation, completes the baptismal grace. By the sacrament of Confirmation the baptized are more perfectly bound to the church and enriched with the special strength of the Holy Spirit. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285). The effect of the sacrament of Confirmation is the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost. (CCC 1302) This sacrament of the gift of the Spirit of God within those who believe and are baptized strengthens and helps us carry on the works of Jesus.

Children
Confirmation for Catholic children is celebrated during the Easter season every year.

Children are prepared through the 7th and 8th grades in the school and religious education programs. Contact the school or the Catechetical Ministry Office, (408) 746-0172.

Youth
High school students join with the children of the parish for the celebration of Confirmation during the Easter season.

There is a class for high school students for preparation for Confirmation. Contact the Catechetical Ministry Office at (408) 746-0172 for information.

Adults
The Bishop confirms adult Catholics on Pentecost or Trinity Sunday every year.

We have a series of preparation meetings during the Easter season. All adult Catholics who are not Confirmed and who are regularly practicing their faith are welcome to consider this preparation and celebration. Contact Fr. Vincent at (408) 245-5554.
