Confirmation
THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION
The Sacrament of Confirmation, along with Baptism and Eucharist, is one of the three sacraments of initiation. At Confirmation the Holy Spirit strengthens the Baptized Christian and endows her or him with gifts to enable us to carry out our mission to be Christ in the world and to continue building God’s kingdom. To be fully a member of the Catholic Church, one needs to be Baptized, Confirmed and receive first Eucharist.
Our Previous Sacrament of Confirmation was celebrated at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph on Sunday, November 7, 2021, at 2:00PM. Archbishop Leonard P. Blair was the principal celebrant of the Liturgy.
ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASSES
Classes for Spring 2022 will begin on Thursday, February 24, 2022, at St. Barnabas Church for adults who are 18 or older, who have not received this sacrament and would like to. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit strengthens the graces we received at Baptism bringing us closer to Christ and better preparing us to face the daily challenges of Christian life.
This ten-week preparation will enable the candidate to receive the sacrament of Confirmation on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Hartford.
