- Confirmation
  
  Preparation for Confirmation is a two-year process, which can begin during the 9th grade or after. In order to be eligible for Confirmation, teens should complete a year of faith formation.
  
  To find out those options please scroll down to "How do I know if I am eligible to receive Confirmation". There you will find links to read the various options for how to fulfill the prerequisite year.
  
  If you are older than high school and still need to be confirmed, please email Emily Vizard at [email protected]
  
  Sponsors for Confirmation must be 16 years of age or older, Catholic, and have received the Sacrament of Confirmation. If the sponsor does not belong to St. Maria Goretti, a letter is needed from their parish priest stating that they are an active and practicing Catholic.

- UNITED STATES CATHOLIC CATECHISM FOR ADULTS:
  
  Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. . . We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service.
