The sacrament of Confirmation will take place this school year for eligible Grade 7 students. If you would like your child to participate, we ask parents to complete a 2-part process.

​STEP 1: Fill-out the Online Registration Form

To register, please use this link: CONFIRMATION REGISTRATION FORM

​If you are having any difficulty accessing the registration form, you may also download a pdf copy and email the completed form to mgaddi@hamiltondiocese.com. You may also pick-up a paper form from the parish office during office hours.

STEP 2: Submit Documents at the In-Person Registration/Verification

The parish also requires a copy of the CHILD’s Baptism Certificate in order to process the registration. Please submit a PHOTOCOPY of the Baptismal Certificate, as well as a translation if it is in another language, at one of the following dates/times:

          IN-PERSON SACRAMENTAL REGISTRATION DATES:

          October 2, 2026, drop-in between 5PM – 7PM; or
          October 3, 2026, drop-in between 10:30AM – 12PM

You only need to drop-in once and children are not required to attend. At this in-person event, we will have volunteers who will verify the child’s baptism information and answer any questions. We will also have important materials to hand out. Please note that your registration will only be processed upon submission of a valid Baptismal Certificate. If you don’t have a copy of the certificate, please contact the church of Baptism and request a new record of Baptism.

If your child is NOT planning to participate in the sacraments, there is no further action needed on your end. Please note that some sacramental preparation will take place at school as part of the students’ Religion curriculum.

What is the Sacrament of Confirmation?

Confirmation is the sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect  of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation.

The Effects of Confirmation are as follows:

• An increased portion of the gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, knowledge, right judgment, understanding, courage, piety, and fear of the Lord
• A deepening and strengthening of the grace received at Baptism, which is considered the presence of God in the soul
• A more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ
• A closer bond with the Catholic Church
• The ability to take a greater, more mature role in the Church’s mission of living the Christian faith daily and witnessing to Christ everywhere
• A special mark, or character, on the soul that can never be erased.
