WHAT IS CONFIRMATION? 

Confirmation is the sacrament in which the Holy Spirit is poured out to those already baptized in order to make them docile to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit so that they may live out their Christian mission fruitfully and abundantly. The purpose of preparation for Confirmation at the junior high and high school level is to assist the candidates in knowing and appreciating God’s tremendous love for each of them and to respond to that love by intentionally embracing their Catholic Faith.

HOW DOES SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION WORK AT OUR PARISH?

Preparation for Confirmation is centered around faith learning, charitable, and spiritual works of mercy, and encounters with Jesus through retreat experiences and prayer. In addition to participation in sacrament preparation activities, those preparing for Confirmation must be attending regular religion classes either at St. Aloysius School or through the parish Family Faith Formation (Fx3) program.

Confirmation takes place in the spring at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Cathedral in Toledo. St. Aloysius Parish confirmands participate in a joint celebration with other parishes in the diocese, with Bishop Daniel Thomas as the conferring celebrant.  Location address: 2535 Collingwood Blvd. Toledo, OH 43610
