welcome to confirmation
We are excited to begin this journey with you and your family as you walk towards the beauty of the sacrament of Confirmation.
"Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed." CCC1285

General Overview
Since 2004, it has been the policy of the Archdiocese of New Orleans to confer the sacrament of Confirmation on students in the 11th grade, after at least two years of preparation. Criteria for receiving the sacrament are that the candidates (1) must be baptized; (2) must not have not been previously confirmed; and (3) must be “suitably instructed, properly disposed, and able to renew one’s baptismal promises” (Canon 889)
The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in the 11th grade. In order to be confirmed, a person must participate fully in the Confirmation Preparation Program.
Occasionally a person has not been confirmed in his or her youth. Adults who are not yet confirmed are invited to make an appointment with the Director of Religious Education.
