Campus Ministry: Confirmation Program for Adult Catholics

Confirmation is the completing sacrament of initiation in the Catholic Church. This group meets weekly to prepare for the sacrament and is composed of baptized Catholics who desire to mature in their faith with the gift of the Holy Spirit.  The program begins in the early Fall Semester and culminates in the Easter Season with the celebration of the sacrament with Archbishop Vlazny.
