High School Confirmation:

Confirmation for high school students is celebrated once a year at St. Catherine of Siena by a visiting bishop. Teens who are in their junior or senior year in high school are eligible to prepare for this Sacrament.  Registration begins in April and is due before the first Confirmation class in the Fall. The registration packet includes tentative dates for this year's program. If you are interested in joining our High School Confirmation program, please contact Meagan Barras, Director of Youth Ministry in the parish office at 504-835-9343 or meagan @ scschurch.com.


Preparation is handled in the church parish not by the Catholic School.

Please note that all children in 1st through 11th grade should attend Religious Education classes either in the church parish or in a Catholic school. The Archdiocese recognizes no other programs or schools for preparing your child's Religious Faith formation.

Adult Confirmation:

Adult Confirmation preparation takes place in the spring.  Adults who are beyond high school age, and have received the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation and Eucharist, but need Confirmation, may take part in a 4-6 week preparation in the spring. These adults will be confirmed at the Cathedral on Pentecost Sunday by the Archbishop.  If you are interested in joining our Adult Confirmation program, please contact Joni Maurer, Director of Evangelization at 504-835-9343 or                             joni @ scschurch.com.
 

“Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the Sacraments of Initiation, whose unity must be safeguarded…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.” (CCC 1285)
