Adult Confirmation

Adult Confirmation is received in two different opportunities:

• Through the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA), Confirmation when combined with the above Sacraments can be done at the Easter Vigil.
• Practicing Catholics for some reason have missed receiving Confirmation, can attend classes that typically are offered on Sundays following Easter Sunday. Confirmation is then received on Pentecost Sunday with our diocesan bishop.
