Confirmation
Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. . . . We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service. (from the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults)
At St. Bede’s, young Catholics customarily receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in the 7th grade. Our Parish, either through our school or PREP (Parish Religious Education) program, helps them to prepare.
