The Sacrament of Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Initiation, along with Baptism and the Eucharist. This means that through Confirmation we celebrate a person’s new life in Christ and their membership in the Body of Christ, the Catholic Church. Not only is a person’s bond with the Church strengthened, but Confirmation Confirmandi also receives an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Confirmandi experience a growth in the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, right judgment, courage, knowledge, reverence, and wonder and awe.
 
At St. Michael, anyone who is in the 9th grade or older can prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. For 9th- 12th graders, Confirmation preparation is done yearly through the Faith Formation program. Please visit the Faith Formation section for more details on how to receive Confirmation.
