Baptism, Communion, and the sacrament of Confirmation, together, constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace, 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."
Confirmation preparation classes are for two years. Call Linda Walsh, at 775-850-2544, for more information. Parents must be registered members of St. Rose of Lima. Also, see the tab under Faith Formation for more details.
Confirmation preparation class for adults is part of the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) program (see OCIA for adults under Faith Formation).
