Sacrament of Confirmation

  


Gospel
(Mt 26:26-28; cf. Mk 14:22-24, Lk 22:17-20, 1 Cor 11:23-25)

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins."

 

 

 

 
 THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION

 

Confirmation

Confirmation is the sacrament of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.  It confirms our faith and strengthens us as Catholics to be disciples of Jesus. Reception of this sacrament usually takes place in eighth grade and requires regular attendance at St. Barnabas Catholic School or our Religious Education Program. The path to Confirmation at Christ the King Parish begins in 7th grade, with an emphasis on service, and continues in 8th grade, with preparation for the sacrament.
