Adult Confirmation Information & Class InformationOnline Adult Confirmation Registration (English)
For all adults interested in receiving the sacrament of Confirmation, please contact Mr. Reyes Ruiz at (703) 880.4332. Because the Sacrament of Confirmation is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation, you are highly encouraged to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church prior to receiving any of the other Sacraments (i.e. marriage).
Confirmation Sponsors
“Insofar as possible, there is to be a sponsor for the person to be confirmed; the sponsor is to take care that the confirmed person behaves as a true witness of Christ and faithfully fulfills the obligations inherent in this sacrament” (Can. 892).
