“For 'by the sacrament of Confirmation, (the baptized) are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.’”
Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1285

Adult Confirmation
Catholic adults who are active in practicing their faith but have never received the Sacrament of Confirmation are encouraged to do so. The formation process focuses on those who are ready, through maturity and a change of heart, to respond more deeply to God’s invitation of love and mercy.
Requirements are:
- Is at least 20 years old.
- Has celebrated the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Reconciliation.
- Has not rejected the Catholic faith by joining another Christian denomination or a non-Christian faith.
- If married, is in a marriage recognized by the Church. For example, repeated vows in the presence of a Catholic priest or deacon, or received a dispensation.
Required texts are a Catholic Bible and the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults.Unlike adolescent Confirmation, adult Confirmation formation attempts to integrate more fully the richness of their life experiences by helping them to listen and reflect on how God has faithfully walked with them on their life’s journey. For some adults, this might be at age 20, for others, it might be at age 60.
The Fall 2023 Session has already begun. For information on the the next session, please email Barbara Knight at barbara.knight@ctrcc.com.
