Confirmation Date:TBA

Tickets:

Holy Family Church can hold about 500 people.  With about 100 plus candidates (teens and adults to be confirmed), 100 sponsors, two guests per candidate (200), and necessary liturgical ministers, that makes over 400 people in the Church.  To ensure 2 guest spaces per candidate, we issue 2 tickets to enter the Church per family and no more.  We open the additional spaces to guests on a first-come, first-served basis about 15 minutes before Mass begins.  The parish hall will be available to watch the livestream of the Mass simultaneously for any additional family members and guests on campus: https://holyfamily.org/media/livestream/

Reconciliation Service: This will happen on your Confirmation Retreat. The fullness of Initiation, begun in Baptism and strengthened in Confirmation, is expressed in the reception of Holy Communion, which nourishes and sustains believers to live out their calling to be missionary disciples. The Archdiocese has asked that candidates and sponsors properly dispose themselves for receiving the grace of the Sacraments.

Rehearsal: TBA (90 minutes – Sponsor and Candidate)

On the day of the Confirmation Mass…

  • Sponsors and Candidates will meet in the Hall one hour before the ceremony:
