      The Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.

      "By the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed."    (Lumen Gentium 11)

    • Frequently Asked Questions

      At what age do we confirm? 

      At Saint Matthew, Confirmation preparation is a two year process. 

      In year one (typically 7th grade), students must participate in our Family of Faith religious education program OR be enrolled in our parish school. During year one, candidates complete the first half of the Chosen Confirmation curriculum. 

      In year two (typically 8th grade), students must participate in our Family of Faith religious education program OR be enrolled in our parish school. During year two, students complete the Chosen curriculum, attend several preparation sessions, complete a Confirmation portfolio, and go on a one day retreat. The Sacrament of Confirmation is conferred during the Spring of the second year.


      What is the date for Confirmation this year?
      ​Saturday, March 22nd, at 10:00am

      What about teenagers and adults who have not been confirmed?
      We will be happy to help you prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Please contact Jennifer Cabe at [email protected] for more information.

      What if I have been asked to be a Confirmation sponsor at another parish?
