"Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the 'sacraments of Christian initiation,' whose unity must be safeguarded. ... For 'by the sacrament of Confirmation [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.'" (CCC 1285)

Think of Confirmation as a personal Pentecost, when we receive the tools we need for our spiritual journey — the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- It unites us more firmly to Christ, perfecting what was begun in Baptism.
- It increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- It renders a more perfect bond with the Church.
- It gives us special strength to assume an active role in the work of Jesus by witnessing to and spreading the faith.
"Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. ... We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner, with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service." (United States Catholic Catechism for Adults)
Adolescents who wish to begin the Confirmation process will be asked to participate in our cluster's three-year confirmation preparation program. In the Diocese of Superior, the bishop has made a pastoral decision to confer the sacrament of Confirmation only on those in the eleventh grade and above. View the complete Diocesan Guidelines for Confirmation by clicking one of the buttons below.
English españolAdults who have not received the sacrament of Confirmation and wish to complete the initiation process will be asked to begin preparation under the Rite or Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA/OCIA).
If you and/or your family would like to be confirmed in the Church, please call the parish administration office at 715-637-3255, or use the form on our Contact Us page.
