Confirmation
Be Sealed With the Gift of the Holy Spirit
The Sacrament of Confirmation strengthens the grace received at Baptism and calls the baptized to a deeper life in Christ and His Church.
Through the laying on of hands and anointing with Sacred Chrism, those receiving Confirmation are strengthened by the Holy Spirit and sent forth to live and witness to the Catholic faith.
At St. Genevieve, preparation for Confirmation is offered to youth through our
Parish School of Religion (PSR) program. Adults seeking the Sacrament of Confirmation are invited to begin their preparation through the
Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA).

Youth Confirmation
Confirmation preparation at St. Genevieve helps young Catholics deepen their relationship with Christ, grow in their understanding of the Catholic faith, and prepare to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Through our Parish School of Religion (PSR), candidates participate in sacramental formation that encourages prayer, discipleship, and active participation in the life of the Church. Our program serves both St. Genevieve Catholic School students and children attending non-Catholic schools whose families are registered parishioners.
For current eligibility requirements, registration information, formation schedules, retreats, and important dates, please visit our PSR page.
Adult Confirmation
Seeking Confirmation as an Adult?
Adults who were baptized Catholic but have not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation are invited to continue their journey of faith at St. Genevieve. Adult sacramental preparation is offered through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). The appropriate formation depends on which Sacraments an individual has already received and their previous formation in the Catholic faith.
We invite you to learn more about OCIA and take the next step toward completing your Sacraments of Initiation.
