CONFIRMATION 2026
The Sacrament of Confirmation is usually celebrated in either May or June of each year.
General Ceremony Information (Applies to all ceremonies.)

- Following the ceremony, the newly confirmed should see their small group leader (s) in order to receive their Confirmation
Certificate
- The bishop will be available in the parish center following the ceremony for pictures.
- Pictures are NOT to be taken during the ceremony.
- Since the Confirmation Masses do NOT fulfill a Sunday obligation, a collection will NOT be taken at any ceremony.
Seating:
Due to the large number of candidates to be confirmed, each candidate has been assigned half of a pew. Pews were assigned randomly through a lottery system. A brother or sister was automatically assigned the other half of the same pew or the pew directly behind.
The candidate is to sit on the end, followed by the sponsor and two guests. If a candidate or sponsor has a physical handicap and their current seating location would be a hardship, please contact the youth office as soon as possible so that we may rectify the situation.
General Seating:
General seating for those who are unable to sit in the candidate's pew will be in both transepts and the pews from the baptismal font to the back of the church.
If you have a family member that needs wheelchair accessible seating, please call the Youth Ministry office so that we can reserve a space for that person and their seat companion.
2025 REHEARSAL INFORMATION:
Both Candidate and Sponsor should attend the rehearsal.
If the sponsor is unable to make it, a parent may come to the rehearsal in their place.
All rehearsals take place in the church.
