Items such as Bibles, candles, and rosaries can be blessed during your Confirmation mass, but are not required.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What if my sponsor can't make it?
You will chose someone else to stand in as a "proxy" sponsor (usually one of your parents or a family member.) The proxy will physically take the place of your sponsor during the rite of confirmation, but in your sacramental records, your original sponsor will be listed. If your sponsor will not be able to make it you need to let Amanda know who your proxy will be (if applicable). This is not ideal.

Will there be a rehearsal?
Yes. There will be a mandatory rehearsal Monday, May 1, 4-5 pm, for both candidates AND sponsors. in the Church. If you have difficulty attending for whatever reason, please let me know so we can work something out.

Can I bring items to be blessed (like rosaries, Bibles, candles, etc.)?
Absolutely, but they are not required. Fr. Cary or Fr. Peter will take time to bless these items during the Masses.

Will I get a certificate?
Yes, you will receive a certificate after Mass is over, so please don't leave right away.

Will masses be livestreamed since we can't bring more people to Mass with us?
Definitely. Our confirmation masses will be livestreamed on our website at https://stceciliachurch.org/liturgy-broadcasts so anyone from anywhere can watch!

  - Women and Men:

We ask this because we want everyone to be comfortable in our space during this sacred time. This is not to shame anyone, but rather to serve as a reminder that we are in the house of God and our appearance should reflect that. Thank you!
