The
Sacrament of Confirmation instills the
same fullness of the Spirit that the
disciples received on Pentecost. It
perfects in us what was begun in Baptism.
It deepens our bond with the Holy Trinity
and strengthens our bond with the Church.
Through Confirmation, we are empowered
to assume an active role in the work
of Jesus by witnessing to and spreading
the faith.
Such
an awesome undertaking requires discernment
and preparation. As such, youth who
are entering the ninth grade or above
may begin the preparation process in
the fall of each year.
All
Confirmation candidates are required
to attend Sunday morning faith formation
classes, Sunday evening youth group
meetings, and the three scheduled mini-retreats,
as well as participate in service activities.
Regular Mass attendance by the candidate
and his/her family is expected. The
preparation process culminates in the
celebration of the sacrament in the
Easter season as scheduled by the Bishop.
For
further details, please contact our
Director of Faith Formation by calling
the parish office at (859) 252-7551.
Registration will take place between
August 22, 2010, and September 5, 2010.
Classes begin on September 12 for the
2010-2011 year.
