The Sacrament of Confirmation

Baptism, the Eucharist, and the Sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the sacraments of Christian initiation, whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. 

Candidates for Confirmation are required to be in grade seven (7) or older. 

Notice Regarding the Sacrament of Confirmation for 2019

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are currently reviewing our Confirmation program to make it a better experience for our students and parents alike.  We have listened to suggestions from former candidates for Confirmation, parents and sponsors, and our leaders of our Confirmation program.

Together with the leaders of the program, the priests in North Bay, and with the help of our young people's suggestions, our Confirmation program will be revamped.

Because this process takes time - the Sacrament of Confirmation will not be celebrated until the Fall of 2020.  In the Fall of 2020, we will offer the Sacrament of Confirmation for those in Grades 7, 8 & 9 - to make sure that our young people do not miss this opportunity to receive this great Sacrament of the Holy Spirit.

I thank you for your patience with us - and look forward to presenting an amazing experience for our families who participate in this Sacrament in the future.

If you have any further questions, comments, or suggestions - please do not hesitate to contact me further.

In Christ, 

Fr. Daniele Muscolino
Pastor, Holy Name of Jesus, North Bay
& St. Alphonsus Liguori, Callander
