CONFIRMATION
Confirmation completes what the grace of Baptism began, bringing a deepening of grace in a special outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Confirmation strengthens us to be witnesses of Christ, bearing his light and his peace to a world that needs our gifts and our love. -

** Important ** If you do not have a copy of your baptismal certificate, please contact your church of baptism as soon as possible to request one. This process may take several weeks, or longer if the church is out of the country.
(Many church offices were closed or are understaffed due to COVID-19, further delaying the process, so we recommend beginning right away.)
