Confirmation

For anyone baptized as a Roman Catholic, the final step in Christian Initiation is the sacrament of Confirmation.   During Confirmation, the bishop “confirms” what began at baptism and seals us with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

In the Archdiocese of Seattle, the usual age of confirmation is age 12 or older.  Confirmation usually will be celebrated during the Easter Season, depending on the availability of our bishop. 

For adults who aren’t baptized, were baptized in a different Church, or were baptized Catholic but not raised in the Catholic Church, confirmation may be celebrated at a different liturgy. 

To learn more about confirmation, please contact Deanna Tighe.  Attendance at preparation sessions is required.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) provides an opportunity for those who want to be baptized, those who are baptized in another faith and want to become Catholic or those who are coming back to the Church to learn and grow in the Catholic faith.  A team of parishioners accompany these "seekers".  Adults who feel called to join the Catholic Church and want to join fully in the celebration of the Eucharist are a great blessing for our parish.  The process can be several months or even a year or two, depending where you are on your faith journey. 

If you have an interest in mentoring others or enjoy talking about what your faith means to you, please consider being on a team for one of these groups.
