Confirmation

Confirmation is the Sacrament which strengthens a Christian in the faith through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. In the Diocese of Lansing Confirmation usually takes place in 8th grade. Our Religious Education program prepares children for reception of the Holy Spirit in Confirmation.

Focus on Confirmation by Seton Press is a powerful tool expertly preparing students for reception of the sacrament. Question-and-answer catechism format, Parents and students work on the book together at home. Students complete and submit assigned questions to the DRE Additional help is available by contacting the DRE.

Some children are prepared for this sacrament at Catholic schools or may even be catechized at home provided they register with our Religious Education, which is done in August. All children must complete the same requirements, no matter where they are being prepared:  

• 10 service hours

• Choosing a sponsor

• Participating in a Confirmation retreat

• Successfully pass a confirmation interview with Fr. Tom or pastoral help where they demonstrate an understanding of the sacrament, the Holy Spirit, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, prayers and memorization as required.

Contact our Director of Religious Education: Katie Jean with any questions.
