In Confirmation, we receive a deepening of the Holy Spirit, just as the disciples received at Pentecost, that empowers us to live as witnesses to Christ and the Church. We now invite your son or daughter to discern this sacrament and the role it will play in their lives.
Here at St. Joseph, we launched a new process for Confirmation preparation last fall that we believe better serves our youth and prepares them to become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. In order to be more readily prepared for the Sacrament, this new approach will allow for greater dialog, support, mentorship, and encourage growth in the habits of Christian virtue. This is called a discipleship model because it is more like the model that Jesus used with his own disciples.
