The Sacrament of Confirmation seals us with the gift of the Holy Spirit and continues the grace of Pentecost. This program is for adults 18 and older who have received Baptism and First Communion but have not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation.

We tailor our preparation pathways to your life stage and needs:

  • College Students (Ages 18–22): Join the Newman Center meetings on Tuesday evenings.

  • Young Adults (Ages 22–35): Join our Fall Alpha Course on Wednesday evenings, starting September 30, 2026.

  • Adults (Ages 35+ / OCIA Pathway): Join the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) on Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m.

In addition to these ongoing parish programs, candidates receive three individual sessions focused specifically on the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation for adults typically takes place in May.
