Sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit
Confirmation deepens the grace of Baptism and strengthens your child with the gifts of the Holy Spirit — wisdom, understanding, right judgment, courage, knowledge, reverence, and wonder and awe. It is a powerful moment of encounter with Christ and the Church, equipping young disciples to live their faith with confidence and joy.
At St. Ladislas, Confirmation is typically celebrated by children in the 8th grade following a period of preparation. This journey includes formation, prayer, service, and community as your child learns what it means to be a full, active participant in the Catholic faith.
We partner with parents, sponsors, and families to make this a meaningful and memorable experience of grace and growth.

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. — CCC 1285
