  • Welcome to Confirmation!
    Welcome to Confirmation!
    The Sacrament of Confirmation completes Baptism by increasing and deepening the Baptismal graces. Confirmation unites us more firmly to Christ, increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit within us, makes our bond with the Catholic Church more perfect, and gives us special strength to spread and defend the faith.
    • How does Confirmation preparation work?

      St. Matthew School 
      • Students in our St. Matthew School will recieve their Confirmation preparation in religion class on Tuesday mornings. Our school uses a program from Ascension Press called Chosen. This is a 24 lesson program that prepares students to understand more fully the importance of this great sacrament. School students and families will be required to attend three connect nights throughout the school year.   
       
      • Confirmation students are also required to attend the Confirmation retreat in December at Damascus.

      Family of Faith
      • Students in Family of Faith will receive Confirmation preparation using the Ascension press program called Chosen. This specific program will be done at home. It is a 24 lesson program to help prepare students to understand more fully the great sacrament they are going to receive. Family of Faith families are required to attened monthly "Connect" nights throughout the year to receive additional preparation for Confirmation.

    • When Do We Celebrate Confirmation at St. Matthew?

      Most parishes offer Confirmation to parishioners in their early teenage years. At Saint Matthew, we prepare students for two years, usually beginning in seventh grade, to receive Confirmation at the end of their eighth grade year.
      Confirmation Mass typically happens in the springtime and is normally celebrated by the Bishop of Columbus.
