Latest Confirmation News!
Confirmation Classes will begin in January 2023. At St. Anthony's parish, the sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated when a youth is a sophomore in high school (or older) and has participated in two consecutive years of high school religious education (SAY or at another Catholic parish). The youth should be attending Mass each Sunday. If your youth is in tenth grade or older and has not received the Sacrament of Confirmation please register them on the Religious Education website and contact Deacon Mike Beauvais at [email protected] . -
Welcome to St. Anthony's Confirmation page!!!
The Sacrament of Confirmation is the acceptance of our role as Priest, Prophet and King which we received through Baptism. At the end of the preparation process, candidates should demonstrate commitment, understanding and active participation in the life of the Church. This includes continued participation in Youth Ministry/Catechesis to build up their faith and education which should last a lifetime and to encourage participation in the Mass ministries, for example: Lector, Musician, Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion and Altar Server.
A teen who is Confirmed has been given the fullness of the Holy Spirit to go out and defend the faith and evangelize others, but without the continued practice of the faith, this grace can be left to wither. However, we have many ways to be involved in our parish after Confirmation!
At St. Anthony's parish, the sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated when a youth is a sophomore in high school (or older) and has participated in:- Two consecutive years of high school youth ministry (SAY or another Catholic parish). During that time, additional requirements should be met:
- Complete 10 service hours to community, parish and family.
- A questionaire with relevant questions to be answered will be provided.
- An oral report (3-5 minutes in length) on their chosen patron saint.The teens can use any visual aid to assist them in their project. Artistic teens, posters are good.
IMPORTANT!!!! Confirmation Candidates must attend Sunday Mass regularly!
