Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. (CCC 1285)

 Confirmation is the sacrament that completes a person’s initiation into the Catholic Church. The recommended age to begin the preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis is age 13. Therefore, the normal year of preparation to receive the sacrament is the 8th grade.  However, older youth and adults can receive the sacrament after proper catechesis and preparation. If you are older than 8th grade and wish to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, please contact Fr. Aaron Jenkins at 317-462-4240 or via email.

Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is held during our Wednesday Evening Religious Education (WNRE) classes. Any student enrolled in St. Michael Catholic School will still need to be enrolled in WNRE to be confirmed in the spring.  Click here for Archdiocese of Indianapolis guidelines.
