Adult Confirmation

Are you an adult, age 18 or over, out of high school who wishes to receive the sacrament of Confirmation? We invite you to participate in our preparation process to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation as an adult.

Our sessions are held weekly (see schedule below). If you are interested in attending, please contact our Assistant Director of Faith Formation, Jennifer Gendzwill, at jgendzwill@saintfaustinachurch.org for more information and to schedule an interview. All who want to proceed with this journey need to contact their Church of Baptism and have a new Baptismal Certificate issued.

Classes for the Spring Session will be held on Mondays at 6pm in the Ark Room (PLC Building) on the following dates: November 11, November 18, December 2, December 9, December 16, and January 6

The Adult Confirmation candidate may request the sacrament if he/she:

• is at least 18 years old and out of high school.
• is validly baptized and able to renew baptismal promises. A copy of the baptismal certificate, less than six months old, is required. We will work with you to obtain it.
• if married, is in a valid marriage witnessed by a priest or deacon and two other witnesses.
• is not living in a way contrary to the moral teachings of the Church.
• has received Holy Eucharist (Communion) and attends Mass weekly.
• exhibits an active faith life in prayer and loving others.

• He or she should be a mature person of faith who believes their faith makes a difference in their life.
• Must be a Catholic who has received the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist (Communion) and, if married, the marriage must be recognized by the Catholic Church as valid.
• The sponsor may not be the mother or father of the one to be confirmed. It is desirable, but not required, to choose as a sponsor someone who has undertaken the same function in baptism.

When can I get confirmed?
The sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated twice a year in our archdiocese, usually around January and June. Exactly when you are confirmed and how long it takes depends a lot on you--what brings you to this sacrament at this time, your individual needs, how much time you have to devote to preparation, whether or not you are a practicing Catholic at this time, and other things going on in your life. This is why we want to hear from you before crafting a plan that will work for you.
