Receive the Holy Spirit
In Confirmation, Christians receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit and deepening of baptismal graces needed to grow as mature disciples of Christ in the life of the Church. Normally Confirmation at St. Joe’s is celebrated in the fall or the spring of the ninth grade and students are required to have two years of faith formation prior to this. The weekly preparation are small classes for one hour. The preparation for Confirmation also includes service projects in the parish and in the community, a weekend retreat and Sunday Mass attendance. Contact the office for this year’s preparation schedule.
Adult Confirmation
For those missing this Sacrament or Baptism or Communion we have a weekly meeting for adults or young adults throughout the year.
