Confirmation General Info:

Confirmation is the sacrament which strengthens us and the life of the Holy Spirit at work in our hearts. In the United States, it is usually the last of the Sacraments of Initiation administered and, together with Baptism and the Eucharist, marks the beginning of our full initiation into the Catholic Church. Those who have been confirmed are able and expected to take on many more ministries in the Church, working as adult Christians to build up the Kingdom of God.

Confirmation for children who are practicing Catholics:

Confirmation classes offered at St. Joseph take place during the child’s 8 th Grade year. There are three classes offered for Confirmation:

  • St. Joseph School Children – 8th Grade Religion Class
  • Parish School of Religion Day Class – 10:45 am (during PSR time)
  • Parish School of Religion Night Class – Class time varies based on attendees

Confirmation for children and adults who are Non-Catholic or adults who have not received the sacrament of Confirmation:

A program setup for those interested in the Catholic faith is called RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation). RCIA classes are offered Tuesday evening to prepare those to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Holy Communion (Eucharist) and/or Confirmation.
