Confirmation

Through Baptism, your relationship with Jesus Christ officially began. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit strengthens the graces of your Baptism and gives you even more grace. This brings you ever closer to Jesus and better equips you as you journey through life on the road to Heaven.

Confirmation at Our Lady of Grace will take place on Thursday, October 29, 2020 at 4:00 PM with Bishop Michael J. Fitzgerald. Please see the paperwork below for important dates.

Due to the limited available seating in the church attendance will be limited to the Confirmandi, their sponsor, and parents.
