The sacrament of Confirmation is when one is receives the Holy Spirit. The confirmandi receives the 8 gifts of the Holy Spirit and the abundant grace that comes with them. This sacrament completes the covenant that was made at Baptism by fully uniting the confirmandi to the life of Christ.

Confirmation is usually celebrated when one is in the 8th grade, after they have received the previous 3 sacraments (Baptism, First Reconciliation, and First Communion). In order to celebrate this sacrament one must:

• Attend mass on a regular basis
• Attend one of the parent/candidates meetings on November 7/8
• Complete at home family preparation as well as preparation in the school and a family retreat day at the parish.

This sacrament will be celebrated at the end of May. Registration is now closed. Please contact Felipe at 519-734-8044 or fdasilva@dol.ca if there are any inquiries
