Sacrament of Confirmation 2025
Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit…
The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated in all three of our parishes on Pentecost Weekend (June 7/8).
Ideally, you should celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation in your own parish Church, however you are welcome to select the time and place that works best for you and your family within our Family of Parishes.
Candidates for Confirmation must be baptized Catholics.
If the candidate was baptized outside of our Family of Parishes, please contact the Parish of Baptism and ask them to send a copy of their baptismal certificate to our parish office.
Preparation will take place in 3 phases:
1) A spiritual formation will take place as the candidates attend and are involved in our weekend Masses. Plan to be there each and every week.If for some reason this is not possible, please reach out to Fr. David.A sign-in sheet will be present in the entrance/narthex of each of our churches.
2) A catechetical formation will occur over the course of 5 sessions at All Saints, Strathroy from 6:00 – 8:30 pm on the dates listed below. A meal will be provided at the beginning of each gathering. If there are dietary concerns or transportation issues, please let me know when you are registering.
3) A retreat day with NET ministries is currently scheduled for Wednesday, May 7th from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm.
To help defray the cost of materials, meals and the retreat day, a $50 fee is due at the first catechetical session. (If this is a hardship, do not hesitate to let me know).
