Confirmation is the sacrament that celebrates the presence of God’s special strength and gifts in a maturing baptized person in order to become a better disciple. This sacrament strengthens the individual in the life of the Spirit and confers on a person a greater responsibility in Christian life. St. Denis celebrates this sacrament as part of the Faith Formation Program. Students begin preparing for this sacrament during their High School years, and must complete 2 years of our program during grades 9, 10 or 11. They will be confirmed by the Bishop in the fall of their junior or senior year. Anyone who has not yet received the sacrament of Confirmation is invited to call Mrs. Kathy Archambault at the Rectory (508-476-2002, x2) for more information.
Please note that any Catholic who wishes to be a sponsor must be confirmed and must fill out the sponsor elegibility form. Additionally, the sponsor must obtain a confirmation certificate from his/her parish of baptism.
