"The sacrament of confirmation impresses
a character and by it the baptized, continuing on the path
of Christian initiation, are enriched by the gift of the
Holy Spirit and bound more perfectly to the Church; it straightens
them and obliges them more firmly to be witnesses to Christ
by word and deed and to spread and defend the faith."
(Canon 879).
Eighth grade students in Ascension Catholic
School and School of Religion will celebrate Confirmation
following their preparation in class and at four required
Confirmation sessions. Other requirements include service
hours and attendance at the Confirmation Retreat. Parents
and students are expected to take a very active part in
their preparation for Confirmation.
All requirements will be explained at a mandatory
parent/student meeting at the beginning of the school year.
Students are required to have attended 7th grade religion
classes before beginning their preparation for Confirmation.
High school students who would like to prepare for the sacrament
of Confirmation should contact SOR for more information.
