From the Pastor: - Confirmation

February 10, 2019

On Sunday, March 3 Bishop David Kagan is scheduled to confirm seven youth at St.

Joseph’s Parish in Killdeer. On June 2 during the Catholic Congress at St. Joseph’s in Twin

Buttes he will also confirm more youth in the Catholic faith.

As I mentioned in my homily last Sunday quoting the Catechism, 1285, “confirmation is

necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.” This means that one becomes more

fully united to God in this sacrament and therefore is “more strictly obliged to spread

and defend the faith by word and deed.”

When Catholics are confirmed they renew their baptismal promises. They reject Satan

and sin; they state their belief in God and in his Church. In this sacrament they receive

the grace to more fully give their hearts to what they believe. When they open their

hearts to Him who is love and truth, amazing things happen to them. All become more

fully alive. Taking on a new name signifies the change that happens to the person

through this sacrament; Saul becomes Paul. The person receives a new vocation and

special grace to spread and defend the Catholic faith.

The Church asks that when a person is confirmed he or she have a sponsor, someone

who can walk with the newly confirmed in the months and years that follow. The

requirements of the sponsor are as follows:

The person must be baptized, received first Holy Communion and have been

confirmed in the Catholic faith.

Currently living a sacramental life (e.g. attending weekend Mass and Holy Days of

Obligation, and receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation)

Is not in an irregular marriage according to Catholic Church teaching.

Be at least sixteen (16) years of age.

Not be a parent of the person to be confirmed.

While not necessary, it is encouraged that one’s baptismal sponsor also serve as the

confirmation sponsor. There is a common phrase: you cannot give what you don’t have.

Therefore, all are asked to find a Catholic sponsor who loves the Catholic faith, lives it

and defends it.

Please pray for those who will be confirmed in the coming months.
