Sacraments
Confirmation
2007-08
Confirmation Calendar
This Sacrament deepens and strengthens our baptismal
commitment. St. Pius X sponsors a program of study, prayer and
service to help the youth of the parish prepare for this
strengthening sacrament. Young adults who have completed the
seventh grade religion curriculum are welcome to participate in
this program. Students must be currently enrolled in a certified
catechetical program within the Diocese of Covington. A parent
education program is offered in the fall for parents of
interested candidates. The young adults make a commitment to
study, persevere, pray and perform community service projects in
order to be accepted into the Sunday evening sessions. Monthly
sessions provide:
-
an avenue to check on doctrinal
knowledge
-
a means of all students involved to
become familiar with each other and the workings of their
parish
-
a chance to discern whether the
students are ready to make this commitment
The Bishop normally comes to St. Pius X
Parish in the winter months to confirm (there will be a new
calendar published for next year in June).
The Sacrament of Confirmation is offered
for the adults of the parish once a year as well. This Sacrament
is celebrated at the Cathedral by the Bishop on Pentecost
Sunday. Information on sessions to prepare for Confirmation for
adults eighteen and older may be obtained by calling the Office
of Religious Education at 341-4900, ext 113.
