Confirmation is a Sacrament of Initiation that completes the grace we receive in Baptism. It seals, or confirms this grace through the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. This sacrament also makes us better able to participate in the worship and apostolic life of the Church. At the Church of the Gesu, young people who are in the ninth grade and older, and who have received the sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist, are invited to participate in the process in the fall of each year. Preparation involves catechesis and instruction in faith, led by a team of dedicated parishioners. It is augmented by an annual retreat. Special sacramental preparation sessions are also held for our teens and their parents and sponsors. All sessions are held on Sundays, beginning in October.
