The Sacrament of Confirmation

For complete information regarding High School Faith Formation, which includes the Confirmation program, please look under Youth Faith Formation.

At Sacred Heart-St. Louis Parish, preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation consists of a two year program, ideally begun the freshman year of high school. The program includes two components - classes for catechesis (instruction in the faith), and service projects. Registration takes place in the fall, and a thorough explanation of all requirements and expectations is provided in the registration packet.

"Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation, whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace." (CCC, 1285).
