Confirmation

The Sacrament of Confirmation is now normally celebrated during a child’s ninth grade year. Candidates for this Sacrament should have been enrolled in the Faith Formation program beginning with the Confirmation I class. Candidates must complete all requirements (i.e., service hours, letter to the Bishop, etc.) prior to the reception of the Sacrament.

Sponsors for each candidate must be a practicing Catholic who is at least 16 years of age and who has received the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. If married, the sponsor must be in a valid Catholic marriage.

Parents must be registered members of St. Thomas Aquinas and have completed all the paperwork required by the Faith Formation department for participation in this Sacrament.
