 Confirmation
​
Confirmation is a Sacrament of Initiation that completes the grace we received in Baptism. It seals, or confirms, this grace through the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. This sacrament also makes us better able to participate in the worship and apostolic life of the Church.  Learn more about the Sacrament of Confirmation.

At St. Gabriel, young people who are in the ninth grade or older  and who have received the sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist, are invited to participate in the process in the fall of each year.  

Preparation for the 2021/22 year will be held in person and involves catechesis and instruction in faith led by a team of dedicated parishioners. It is augmented by speakers and an annual retreat.  All sessions are held on Sunday evenings beginning at 6 PM.  Attendance at the 5 PM Sunday Mass is encouraged.  We begin in September.  Confirmation will be celebrated in late winter or early spring.   It is our intention to provide in-person classes, however, we will transition to online learning should we be required by Covid guidelines and restrictions. 

REGISTER FOR 2023 CONFIRMATION PROGRAM IS NOW OPEN.   Confirmation at St. Gabriel takes place in the 9th grade.  Students entering the 9th grade in the fall of 2022, you can register for the Confirmation program HERE    

A parish service project as well as attending at a BOK Youth Group event are a requirement for Confirmation.
