"Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit"
 

On the the Catechism of the Catholic Church we read that “ Confirmation perfects Baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit in order to root us more deeply in the divine filiation, incorporate us more firmly into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church, associate us more closely with her mission, and help us bear witness to the Christian faith in words accompanied by deeds." CCC 1316  Confirmation is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation. It is not to be considered a rite of passage as its aim is to move those being confirmed towards a more perfect and intimate union with Christ and therefore becoming more perfectly bound to the Church.   

11th graders for the 2024-25 school year who have been baptized and received the Sacrament of Holy Communion
  are able to receive the sacrament of Confirmation.
