The sacrament of Confirmation configures the confirmed more deeply to Christ by sealing them in the Holy Spirit. Confirmation is the gift of God's own life freely given in and through the Holy Spirit that, along with baptism and the Eucharist, initiates the confirmed into the Body of Christ, the Church.. .Confirmation completes, strengthens, and perfects the grace received in baptism.
The sacrament of Confirmation is offered in the Sioux Falls Diocese to Catholics who have received Baptism, First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion - normally in the 10th grade year. Preparation is separate from all other formation opportunities offered.
Five confirmation classes takes place once a month on Sundays from 4-6:00pm. Students, and parent(s) are to attend the classes - sponsors are welcome to attend as well. Students and sponsors are to meet at least once inbetween classes to discuss more in depth the content and its application to their lives using the provided materials. The schedule, along with the registration form, commitment form, and sponsor form, can be downloaded below.
Additionally, we offer Confirmation through the RCIA process. Please register for RCIA if you have been away from the Church for many years, or are an adult seeking Confirmation. You an find out about RCIA HERE.
