Read more below about how you can prepare for this special Sacrament.
Sometime in the fall of your freshman year, you will receive the sacrament of Confirmation. The Holy Spirit, whom you received when you were baptized, will work in a powerful and unique way for each of you. If you pray and cooperate with this grace you will begin to identify the special gifts you have been given, not just for your benefit, but to build and strengthen the faith of others.
Pray for the grace to grow closer to Christ each day. Prayer is such an important part of our faith formation throughout our entire lives. We can never pray too much!

5. If you did not receive the Sacraments of Baptism or First Communion at St. Andrew or St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, please submit a copy of your Baptismal Certificate to your registered parish. This gives us the information to notify your place of baptism about your reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation.
6. Attend the Confirmation Retreat. For your planning purposes, all 8th grade students from St. Andrew and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton will join together for a retreat at the Jesuit Spiritual Center at Milford on Saturday, March 4th, 2023 or March 18th, 2023. You will have the opportuniy to register for ONE retreat. This will be a great opportunity for everyone to be together.
7. Participate in 2 service projects of your choosing. Each Confirmation candidate will participate in 2 service projects of their own choosing, followed up with a written reflection for each one. Please have at least one of the reflections completed by April 1 and the second completed by September 1. We encourage partnering with your sponsor for at least one of these projects.
