Confirmation
In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is "sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit" and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ.Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. . . . We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service. - USCCB

Please join us for a “Come and See” meeting on Sunday, September 13, to get more information, ask questions, and sign up! We will meet in the Emmaus Room at 12:30 pm, after the 11:15 am Mass.

As a reminder, if you are baptized in another Christian tradition and have not received your First Holy Communion, you would participate in the Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA). This is also true if you have not been baptized and are coming new to the Catholic Church.
Teen Confirmation
Teen Confirmation preparation is offered during the candidate’s sophomore junior, or senior year of high school. This year of preparation consists of weekly classes, a retreat, and community service that lead up to the confirmation Mass with the Archbishop in late spring. Please contact Jordan Lux at jlux@sfasat.org for more information.
