Information on the Sacrament.

Who do I Contact: Contact Oscar Rivera to register for Saint Matthews Youth Group/ Religious Education, to prepare for the sacrament. The age for Confirmation in the diocese is 10th grade.

What is the Sacrament of Confirmation: The Sacrament of Confirmation is needed “for the completion of baptismal grace” (Catechism, 1285) and signifies the commitment of an individual to live out, in a permanent way, their Catholic faith. Confirmation is a release of the Holy Spirit in our lives and gives us the grace to live the Christian life as well as become witnesses to Christ in the world. Knowledge about the Catholic faith and the experience of living as a committed Catholic Christian is crucial. Both ingredients – understanding and experience – are necessary before one is admitted to reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation.
