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.

Are you an adult who is interested in receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation?  St. Bonaventure invites you to participate in our Adult Confirmation Program, if you:

• are over 18 years of age
• no longer be in high school
• were baptized Catholic
• have received First Communion, and
• attend Mass on a regular basis.

The next Diocesan Celebration of Adult Confirmation will be held Saturday, February 8, 2020 at the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland.  Preparation is underway in both English and Spanish.    

The next  celebration of Confirmation here at St. Bonaventure will be on May 2, 2020.  Parish preparation sessions will begin on January 26 in Spanish and on January 29 in English.  Click HERE for the schedule.
