In the sacrament of Confirmation, we are anointed with the sacred chrism and sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit. Confirmation is necessary for the completion of the graces we receive at Baptism.
The norm in the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau is at the end of 10th grade. Confirmation Preparation is a two year process. For more information on high school Confirmation, visit HERE.
Some adults (aged 18 and over) chose to delay their Confirmation. Those who are well catechized may choose to do a 6 week preparation, at the discretion of the Pastor and/or Director of Catechetical Ministries. Alternatively, they may take the RCIA/OCIA year long preparation. For more information on Adult Confirmation, visit HERE.
