Confirmation

The faithful are more perfectly bound to the Church by the sacrament of Confirmation,
and the Holy Spirit endows them with special strength
so that they are more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith,
both by word and by deed, as true witnesses of Christ.
Vatican II, Lumen Gentium

Youth of the Cathedral may receive the sacrament of Confirmation beginning in the 9th Grade, although any high school student who has not been confirmed may be enrolled in the program. Candidates for Confirmation participate in a year-long period of formation centered around the person and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The sacrament is celebrated in the Spring. Registration for the next Confirmation class opens the Spring before the program begins.
Questions about the program can be directed to Alexandra Mihaly, Coordinator of Faith Formation & Youth Ministry.
Adults who have not been confirmed for any reason may receive the sacrament at Masses celebrated semi-annually between the Cathedral and the Basilica of the Assumption. Those with interest should contact Father Justin Gough.
