"In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ" (USCCB).

While the Sacrament of Confirmation is the end of the initiation into the faith, Confirmation is really the beginning of a new life where we become doers of the Word instead of only hearers. Confirmation completes the good work begun in Baptism and allows us through the strength of the Eucharist, to live a full and active life in the faith.

At St. Matthew, students normally receive the Sacrament of Confirmation during their 10th grade year. Students must be enrolled in the LIFETEEN program for two (2) consecutive years before receiving Confirmation. During the second year of LIFETEEN, the student must attend Confirmation preparation classes in addition to the regular LIFETEEN classes. For more information contact the Parish Office, 770-964-5804
