Youth Confirmation
For “by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.”
– (CCC 1285).
Candidates for confirmation receive instructional formation for two years before receiving the rite of Confirmation. All candidates are conferred each year by the Bishop of the Diocese of Beaumont during the Easter season. Only students who have been enrolled in a minimum of two consecutive years of Catholic Religious Education are eligible.
