"When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim."
Acts 2:1-4
Welcome to the St. Mary of the Falls Confirmation program! Our aim is to help you, the parent, prepare your son or daughter for the sacrament of Confirmation. The Church has always recognized parents as the primary teachers of their children. We may send them to school or PSR or to a confirmation program to learn the faith, but ultimately our children learn from the behaviors and attitudes of their parents. This program hopes to supplement the formation in the faith that has already been provided at home!
Please read the Confirmation Handbook. It contains all the essential information that you need to know for the upcoming year - including an overview of the program, calendar, expectations, and registration.
The Church requires that a Catholic Sponsor must:
No, a parent of a candidate cannot be that candidate's Confirmation Sponsor.
Yes, a Sponsor is a practicing Catholic striving to live out his or her baptismal promises in union with the Catholic Church.
