Baptism, the Eucharist, and Confirmation together constitute the sacraments of Christian initiation, the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. By 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 in the Diocese of Jackson are to be in the 10th or 11th grades. All students preparing for this sacrament, including our Catholic High School students, must attend the two year parish Confirmation Program prior to the reception of the sacrament. The parish Confirmation Program is held each Wednesday evening at 6:30PM.
Confirmations are no longer held at individual parishes each year because of the distances and the few numbers. A church with sufficient capacity is chosen each year to host the celebration for all the parishes in the region. -
