Who participates in the Confirmation Program?

Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is open to all high school teens who belong to St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church.  Our Confirmation program brings teens and adults together to study and explore how growth in the Spirit is a life long journey.  Together participants share in their journey, and commit to share in the mission of Jesus - to know and worship God and love your neighbor.  The sacrament is received by choice of the teen.  He or she must assume ownership of the promises which were made on their behalf at Baptism.

Catechism of the Catholic Church 1309 – “Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit - his actions, his gifts, and his biddings - in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. To this end catechesis for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community. The latter bears special responsibility for the preparation of confirmands.”
