Confirmation Preparation for AdultsDid you know that 80% of Catholic young adults are unconfirmed? For many young adults, the confirmation program was offered when they were in high school when after-school jobs and extra-curricular activities made attendance in programs and classes difficult. Are you a young adult, out of high school and interested in emerging into an adult Catholic faith? The Newman Center offers a nine-week program of preparation for the reception of gifts of the Holy Spirit through the Sacrament of Confirmation. This program is for persons baptized Catholic who have received First Communion. While many Confirmation programs last a year or two, this one has been condensed into a format that fits the busy lives of college students and young adults. Because of its brevity, attendance is essential. Those who must miss more than one session will be invited to consider taking part in the program later, when their schedule makes regular attendance possible. Our spring Confirmation classes are now in progress, so please check back in late summer/early fall for information on our fall classes. Here are some things you can do to get started:
Last fall 20 students and young adults received the Holy Spirit. They and our Confirmation team invite you to “taste and see the goodness of the Lord.” With Love,
