St. James Parish Adult Confirmation preparation seeks to assist young people and adults who have received first communion without first having been Confirmed to get in touch with their spirituality to lead them to a personal commitment to adult faith and responsibility.

“The spiritual restlessness characteristic of our time may thereby be transformed for Catholics into an ongoing engagement with the Holy Spirit for a life of mission and loving service."

Recent surveys have shown that approximately 60 to 70% of active practicing Catholics have never been Confirmed. The reasons are diverse and at times very personal. We, as a diocese and as a parish, have set a goal to offer the process of Confirmation to those adults who are now ready to complete the Sacraments of Initiation. The process will be one of exploring both the Sacrament and our Catholic faith. It will also include the opportunity to form a closer relationship with Jesus and to discern what form discipleship will take in your life. We hope to see you there.
