Sacraments
Confirmation
2010-11
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 meeting is in the
fall for parents of interested candidates for the sacrament. The
young adults make a commitment to study, persevere, pray and
perform community service projects in order to be accepted into
the Confirmation sessions. Sessions provide:
- an avenue to check on doctrinal knowledge (Class work in
School or PSR)
-
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
Confirmation
sessions include materials taught through religion classes,
Sunday sessions and the Confirmation Retreat. 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
July).
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.
