  • Welcome to Confirmation!
    Welcome to Confirmation!

Confirmation unites us more firmly to Christ, increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit within us, makes our bond with the Catholic Church more perfect, and gives us special strength to spread and defend the faith.

    • When Do We Celebrate Confirmation at St. Matthew?

      Most parishes offer Confirmation to parishioners in their early teenage years. At Saint Matthew, we prepare students for two years, usually beginning in seventh grade, to receive Confirmation at the end of their eighth grade year.
      Confirmation Mass typically happens in the springtime and is normally celebrated by the Bishop of the diocese of Columbus, Most Reverend Earl K. Fernandes.
