Useful Documents During Confirmation Preparation
Required Documents to Submit with Online Registration
Mass Attendance is Required
The Sacrament of Confirmation leads us deeper into life in Christ and into full participation in the Eucharist. It is essential for Confirmation candidates and their families to attend mass regularly. Candidates and their families should make their Catholic life and faith more vibrant and strong, especially after receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. A hallmark of the Catholic lifestyle is gathering for Sunday Eucharist and striving to live a Christian lifestyle. "The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1324).
