Confirmation
Welcome! Our program runs over two (2) years, commencing with Confirmation (generally year 3) followed by Eucharist and Reconciliation (generally year 4). Once enrolled for Confirmation there is no need to re-enrol for the remaining Sacraments.
Register today so we can support your child's sacramental journey. Once registered please submit an enrolment form for your child. If your child has already enrolled for Confirmation, Eucharist, or Reconciliation in our parish previously, they are automatically enrolled for their next sacrament.
Enrolments for the 2025 program have closed as the program has already commenced.
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me." – John 15:26
While Baptism is the gateway into the Catholic faith, the Sacrament of Confirmation affirms your commitment to your faith and renews your baptismal promises before your First Holy Communion. You do this with the help of a sponsor. Your sponsor is someone who you choose - a Catholic who guides you into the faith and readies you to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is typical for baptised children to be confirmed at about seven or eight years old, which the Church considers the age of reason. In this way, the sacrament is often likened to a rite of passage.
The timing of First Holy Communion and Confirmation has changed in recent years, so if you’re over 30 years old, you might have done it differently. The current order of the Sacraments of Initiation reflects the intended purpose from ancient times, which always was to renew your baptismal promise before First Holy Communion.
We welcome older children into our program. We welcome relocated families who are mid-journey with their Sacraments.
Pre-requisites for Confirmation are Baptism, and at least one parent of the child be a Catholic.
