Confirmation is a community's sacramental celebration of an individual's mature and personal affirmation of the gift of faith, which seals the work of the Spirit begun in baptism.
The Sacrament of Confirmation:
- welcomes us and deepens our belonging to the faith community
- deepens our relationship to God, as Creator, Redeemer and Spirit
- strengthens us as disciples
Confirmation preparation provides an opportunity for growth in knowledge, which hopefully will lead to growth in faith as well.
Please call Christian Formation Office at 262-796-3944 if you have any questions.
