Marking the completion of the sacraments of initiation, the sacrament of Confirmation is a celebration of faith and Christian maturity. At the end of the preparation process, candidates must demonstrate commitment, understanding and active participation in the life of the Church.
At Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated when youth are at least 13 years of age and have participated in:
2 consecutive years of youth ministry / high school religious education immediately preceding Confirmation
12 Confirmation classes tailored specifically toward preparing youth for the sacrament of Confirmation
