Windsor-Lake St. Clair 

Young people in Grade 8 through to Grade 12 in the 2025-2026 school year are invited to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation. 

Confirmation is the sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation.

Why does Confirmation matter? Why do I have to prepare?

Confirmation preparation is for learning the next steps that will lead to a better you. Preparing for Confirmation is learning how to be a disciple of Christ, because we believe that's the path to a fuller and more fulfilling life. In the Catholic faith, Confirmation is the sacrament that completes baptism by strengthening and sealing the graces bestowed at baptism.

Do I have to make Confirmation?

You don't have to do this. It's a choice. It's your choice. You get to do this! At our parish, teens enroll in Confirmation.
