Confirmation

Confirmation deepens our relationship with Jesus and strengthens the gifts of the Holy Spirit within us. It is a powerful step in embracing and living out the Catholic faith.


For Youth

Youth typically receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in 8th Grade, following at least two years of preparation. During this time, candidates explore their faith through:

  • Classroom reflection and discussion

  • Service opportunities

  • Prayerful projects and retreats

If your child is past 8th Grade and has not yet been Confirmed, please contact our youth ministry program & we are happy to help them prepare and receive the sacrament at the right time.

For Adults

If you are an adult who was never Confirmed—whether you’re returning to the Church or continuing your faith journey—it’s never too late.

We offer guidance and preparation to help you receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, which is celebrated on Pentecost at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis.
