Confirmation

Staff Contact: Ana Maria Alvarado, Pastoral Associate

Are you a high schooler who would like to get confirmed? Do you have at least two consecutive years of faith formation (including this year)? The current COVID19 crisis has provided a unique opportunity for those who, in the past, may have not had time to complete the requirements. We are creating at home content for this year only and community service opportunities. Please contact Ana Maria Alvarado for more information on how to get started at Ana.Alvarado@saintdrexel.org

In Confirmation, baptized youth are strengthened by the Holy Spirit for the challenges of living as Christian disciples. Confirmation completes the graces of baptism and perfects the common priesthood of the baptized.

High School aged youth who are baptized are invited to participate in a preparation process leading to the celebration of the sacrament of Confirmation. This process includes catechesis focused on the sacrament, participation in parish ministry, community service, a pilgrimage, and a retreat. Additionally, regular participation in a parish faith formation program or religion class at a Catholic high school is required. For information on how to register for our faith formation programs visit our faith formation page.

Confirmation this fall will be held at the 5:00 PM Mass on 9 October 2021.  Please contact Ana Maria for any questions.

Registration is now open for high school students wishing to be confirmed in the fall of 2022 or after.  To access the registration form CLICK HERE.
