Confirmation Requirements

1. Register online
2. Submit to the parish office a recent copy of your baptismal certificate. (The certificate copy must be attained no less than six months ago from the church where you were baptized. You can usually call their parish office requesting a copy. Your original baptism certificate cannot be used if you were baptized more than a six months ago. If you were baptized at St. Cecilia's, you will only need to provide me the month and year you were baptized.)
