”The Holy Spirit is truly transforming us, and through us he also wants to transform the world in which we live. Let us open the doors to the Spirit, let ourselves be guided by him, and allow God’s constant help to make us new men and women, inspired by the love of God which the Holy Spirit bestows on us! How beautiful it would be if each of you, every evening, could say: Today at school, at home, at work, guided by God, I showed a sign of love towards one of my friends, my parents, an older person! How beautiful!”
~ Pope Francis

To be confirmed, your child must:
- Have been Baptized in or have become a member of the Roman Catholic Church
- Regularly participate in Sunday Mass & Holy Days of Obligation
- Be 14 to 16, usually in 10th grade
- Have attended two consecutive years of Faith Formation in a Catholic parish or school with at least 80% attendance each year. Catholic School students whose families are NOT parishioners of St. Austin Catholic Parish must bring a letter from their pastor giving permission for them to participate in Confirmation preparation here.
More notes on faith formation:
- We recommend that students attend Faith Formation classes in grades 8 and 9 and then move to the Confirmation Class in 10th grade. However, students are welcome to be confirmed in grades 11 and 12 after completing the two years of Faith Formation.
- If you are a parishioner of St. Austin and your teen attends San Juan Diego, St. Dominic Savio, or St. Michael's, their two-year prerequisite is satisfied by their daily Theology class. Immediate preparation for Confirmation occurs at St. Austin in the semester preceding the celebration of Confirmation.
For more information on the sacrament for adults, please visit our Faith Formation resources.
