“In this Sacrament (Confirmation), the Holy Spirit is given to the Baptized for strength just as he was given to the Apostles on the day of Pentecost” – Thomas Aquinas.
Welcome to Confirmation at Holy Trinity! We are excited & honored to partner with parents and candidates on this journey. The junior and senior years of high school can be demanding in regards to academic and extra-curricular commitments. Therefore, it is encouraged that young people begin the Confirmation journey in their freshman year of high school. This helps to foster community and faith with their peers. However, the two year journey can be completed anytime during their freshman and junior year. Please see below for more information on the Sacrament of Confirmation and how to register.
