The Sacrament of Confirmation
Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation begins in grade 9 and includes monthly small group meetings, a retreat, and an interview with the pastor and coordinator. The small groups are held one Sunday a month. The time is determined by the small group leader. Confirmation is celebrated in the fall of the 10th grade year.

Confirmation Class Participation Expectation
Holy Spirit’s goal for those newly initiated into the Catholic faith is that they will be ready to be missionary disciples of our Lord, Jesus Christ. To help ensure that youth have a firm grounding in faith prior to Confirmation and are empowered to preach the Gospel, it is expected that all students preparing to receive the sacrament of Confirmation in the fall of 2024 will be registered for Confirmation classes.
Confirmation classes:- Sundays (11:15 AM-12:45 PM)
If you would like to register your child for Confirmation preparation, please contact Mary Nowakowski at [email protected]Are We Missing Anyone?
If you know someone from Holy Spirit with students in this age range, please invite them to consider being confirmed. All students currently in Grade 8 (entering Grade 9 in the fall of 2025) are welcome to register!
