We are thrilled that you are engaged in preparing the faithful for the sacrament of Confirmation or helping prepare for the celebration of it. In either case, please reach out if you have any questions about what you find on this page. For inquiries or help with preparation, please contact Lindsay Finn. For questions about the celebration, first reach out to Fr. Greg Ihm, the Director of the Office of Worship and Masters of Cermony for Bishop Hying.
With the rapidly approaching summer months, we know that Confirmation scheduling is on the minds of many folks in the parishes. To that end, we have a few notes and updates to share before we get to scheduling for the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 season.
For this coming year, we are anticipating the following (if a group is prepared and ready for a Confirmation to be scheduled), based on the trends of the recent years.
Requests for Confirmation celebrations should be made in the Data Hub.
Bishop Hying will be travelling without an MC this year for Confirmation Celebrations. Host parishes and pastors should refer to the Emcee Notes for Pastors document below for information on how to prepare in advance of Bishop's arrival.
Confirmation Liturgy Planners should be e-mailed directly to Fr. Greg or directly sent to the Bishop's office.
