Young men and women in their freshman year of high school are currently preparing to be confirmed in the spring of 2025. The Sacrament of Confirmation is a completion of Baptism that bestows Gifts of the Holy Spirit so that members of the Church body can live out their mission of discipleship with courage, zeal and perseverance.
"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of Truth, which the world cannot accept because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." John 14:16-18
"You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8
