CONFIRMATION
Baptism, the Eucharist and Confirmation together constitute the Sacraments of Christian Initiation. Confirmation more perfectly enjoins the baptized person to Christ and His Church and brings an increase and deepening of the grace further completing our Baptism. This seal of the Holy Spirit bestows on us spiritual gifts which help us to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross. During the Mass, the Confirmandi proclaim their faith by declaring the Apostles’ Creed.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is conferred through the anointing with chrism on the forehead, which is done by the laying on of the hand, and through the words: “Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit.”

CATECHETICAL CORRESPONDENCE COURSE
** For children who are not enrolled in one of our parish's Catholic Schools **
Is your child in Grade 6? Did you know we celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation in Grade 7 in the Diocese of Hamilton?
Confirmations at our parish are normally celebrated in the Fall of each year. It is best to prepare well in advance. If your child does not attend Catholic School, please contact the parish office as soon as possible so we can assist you. The Catechetical Correspondence Courses from the Diocese of Hamilton may be right for you.
Parents: To expedite the enrollment of your children in the Correspondence Course, drop off the registration form, baptism certificate and cheque payable to the Catholic Diocesan Account at the Parish Office. Call 905-878-6535 for further details.
