Confirmation preparation guides Christians to a closer relationship with Jesus and a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit, fostering a connection to both the universal and parish community. The sacrament of Confirmation strengthens the baptized individual with the Holy Spirit for service to the Body of Christ.
At St. Julie's, we strive to nurture this sense of belonging in our youth with programs developed to ignite wisdom, curiosity, and faith. Your active involvement is key to building a nurturing Christian environment for your children, encouraging them to flourish in every aspect of life.

Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit- his actions, his gifts, and his biddings-in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. To this end
catechesis for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community. The latter bears special responsibility for the preparation of confirmands.
