Confirmation enriches our youth with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, joins them more perfectly to the Church, and strengthens them in witnessing Christ’s words and deeds.

The Confirmation preparation process at St. Mary invites young people to deepen their relationship with God by opening themselves to a greater outpouring of gifts of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Through this sacrament, our youth are more closely joined to Christ and the church.

It’s time to select your Confirmation name; maybe a person in your life – living or deceased -  you look up to, one and stands for their commitment to Christian life exemplified by love, peace, wisdom, charity, joy, happiness, and humility. Or choose a Saint whose life and dedication to the church you admire or your baptismal name. Have fun and pick a name you’ll be proud to have for the remainder of your life.
