Confirmation
“Confirmation is a sacrament through which we receive the Holy Spirit to make us stronger and more perfect Christians and true witnesses of Jesus Christ. It is a sacrament of our initiation which began in Baptism and continues in the Eucharist. As the candidates come forward to be confirmed they profess their faith in the Catholic Church and personally take on the responsibility for continuing their own religious journey by regularly participating in Sunday Mass, by continuing their spiritual formation within the Church community, by serving others’ needs, and by spreading and defending the faith in word and deed.“

Welcome to the Confirmation Program at St. Leander’s
“Am I ready?”
That’s a powerful question—and a beautiful place to begin.
Confirmation is more than just a step in your faith journey. It’s a sacred moment of saying “yes” to God with your whole heart. It’s the time when you choose to stand up, be counted, and live out your faith as a full and active member of the Catholic Church.
At St. Leander’s, we’re here to walk with you as you prepare for this important sacrament. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, our Confirmation program is designed to help you grow in understanding, deepen your relationship with Christ, and embrace your role in the Church with confidence and joy.
What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation in the Catholic Church, along with Baptism and Eucharist. Through Confirmation, you receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit in a special way, strengthening you to live out your faith boldly and lovingly in the world.
It’s a moment of commitment—when you confirm the promises made at your baptism and take your place as a fully initiated member of God’s family.
Why Confirmation?
Because your faith matters.
Because the world needs your light.
Because God is calling you to something beautiful.
Confirmation is not just a requirement—it’s a response. A response to God’s love, to the teachings of the Church, and to the call to serve others with compassion and courage.
Are You Ready?
As you prepare for Confirmation, we invite you to reflect on these questions:
- Do you want to be a full member of God’s family?
- Do you understand and believe what the Church teaches?
- Are you ready to confirm the promises of your baptism?
- Will you participate in the Eucharist and the sacraments regularly?
- Are you willing to be a living witness to Jesus Christ?
- Are you ready to serve and love others as Christ did?
If your heart is leaning toward “yes,” then you’re in the right place.
