These guidelines are intended to support parish staff in the preparation and celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation across our diocese. Rooted in the Church’s mission of forming disciples, they provide a shared framework for catechesis, pastoral accompaniment, liturgical preparation, and collaboration with families and sponsors. We hope these resources will assist parish leaders in fostering meaningful encounters with Christ and helping candidates more fully embrace the gifts of the Holy Spirit and responsibilities of life in the Church.
