God's invitiation for us to receive Sacraments is always present. God is patient and awaits our response. If you are now ready to respond to God's invitation to prepare for and receive the Sacrament of Confirmation contact louann@epiphanycatholic.org or call 832-772-0283. Our office will be pleased to assist you in your ongoing journey of faith.
SPONSORS
Adult candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation should view the process as coming to the fullness of initiation in the Catholic Christian community. Because of its initiatory character, candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation need a sponsor. Sponsors must have received the Sacraments of Initiation, be free to practice the faith and at least 16 years of age (Canon #892-893). If a sponsor is married, the marriage must be as a Sacrament in the Catholic Church.
EXPECTATIONS
The adult candidate for the Sacrament of Confirmation should be at least 18 years of age, no longer a student in high school, baptized Catholic, received first Eucharist and actively practicing their faith. If married, the marriage needs to be as a Sacrament in the Catholic Church prior to beginning the preparation to receive the Sacarment of Confirmation. (If your marriage is not presently as a Sacrament in the Catholic Church, contact LouAnn at 832-772-0283 for additional information.)
Candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation will need to meet with the LouAnn for an initial interview. You must bring an updated baptismal certificate with you to this interview (requested from your church of baptism within six months of celebrating the sacrament). To make arrangements for an interview contact louann@epiphanycatholic.org or call 832-772-0283
