Confirmation
At San Antonio de Padua, our preparation stresses that the individual begins to acknowledge a personal commitment to a spiritual journey that will last a lifetime. Catechesis encourages this commitment by deepening each individual's understanding of the sacrament through formation sessions, by encouraging personal witness through social justice activity, participation in the parish's liturgical life, and by helping to enrich each candidate’s prayer life through retreats and other prayer experiences.
Diocesan and San Antonio de Padua requirements are fulfilled in a two-year preparation process which begins in 9th Grade. Candidates for Confirmation must be baptized, able to renew baptismal promises and have received sacrament of First Eucharist.
Confirmation for teens
If you missed preparation for the Sacrament of First Eucharist are asked to contact the Religious Formation for more information about sacramental preparation and full initiation.
Confirmation for Adults
Baptized Catholic adults who have not celebrated the sacrament of Confirmation are asked to contact the Religious Formation for more information about sacrament preparation and full initiation.
Adults who wish to serve in this ministry by volunteering to be a catechist or sponsor may contact the Religious Formation Office for more information.
