In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is “sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit” and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ.

At the present time, the Diocese of Youngstown has determined that the sacrament will be celebrated in the eighth grade.  Preparation for the sacrament is incorporated into the catechetical sessions and religion classes of the 8th grade CCD and school students.

For individuals wishing to become Catholic, opportunity for the reception of the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and/or Confirmation is available during the Easter Vigil after participation in the OCIA program.  Reconciliation is offered prior to the Vigil.  Interested individuals should contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

Adults who are Catholic wishing to receive a sacrament that they have not received, may attend the OCIA sessions that provide education in the particular area needed and receive the
sacrament at the Easter Vigil.  

Children needing the sacraments are coordinated by our Co-Directors of Religious of Religious Education, Janette Koewacich and Jamie Miller.
