Confirmation for Youth

The sacrament of Confirmation will not be celebrated at Holy Trinity on Thursday, April 2, 2020.  As of this time we do not have an alternate date.  We will keep you informed as to when we can reschedule.  Please watch our website for updates.

Confirmation is . . .

              - a sacrament of initiation
              - a celebration of what God does for us
              - to be sealed and empowered by the Gifts of the Spirit
              - to be more fully immersed in the life of God’s Church

Confirmation is a major step in the development of spiritual growth in Catholics. To facilitate a deeper celebration of this sacrament our parish has set forth certain expectations and requirements for those at this point in their faith journey.

• Candidates are involved in the life of the church
• Attend Mass and celebrate the sacraments
• Candidates participate regularly in spiritual formation, i.e.
  • Holy Trinity School
  • Sunday evening Junior High Faith Formation
  • Other (Home-school, etc)
• Candidates are involved in service to the parish and wider community
• Candidates will have a sponsor

Our Formation Process includes:

• Orientation session for Parents
• Candidate/Sponsor session in November
• Blessing of candidates at Mass (in November)
• Confirmation Retreat for the candidates
• Stewardship reflection sheets on service (below)
• Three sessions for candidates and sponsors on the Rite of Confirmation
• Candidates writing a letter to the Archbishop requesting Confirmation.
• Sacrament of Reconciliation
