Catholic Confirmation

Confirmation is the beginning of the rest of our lives as Catholics! It is the moment where you stand up for yourself, claiming that God has a primary place in your life and you are choosing to live differently because of that fact. The Holy Spirit, once again, enters your heart and stirs up the gifts God gave you at Baptism to be your truest self. If you are an adult over 18 years seeking confirmation, please go to the Becoming Catholic (RCIA) page. Typically, Catholics are Confirmed as teenagers, and our regular process is open to High Schoolers as early as Freshman year.


Sacramental Preparation for Teens

Who should participate? Teens in high school who are in need of Confirmation (Confirmation Year 1 and 2). Those teens in Year 2 will choose a confirmation sponsor and saint. These are people on Earth and Heaven who you will look up to and who will pray for you to grow with God.


What does it look like?  Confirmation preparation at Saint Brigid Parish is a two-year process for high school age teens to help them grow in their relationship with Jesus as His disciples. Candidates will continue their faith formation by participating in a small group, the sacramental life of the Church, retreat experiences, and service to the community.

Candidates are expected to participate in the following:

  • Confirmation Preparation and Bible Study meetings
  • Weekly Sunday celebrations of the Eucharist
  •  Retreats as offered
  •  Opportunities to serve the community


When will we meet? Sundays evenings after Mass from 6:30-8:30 pm in the Lounge.

  • High School Youth Nights - 1st Sundays
  • Confirmation Preparation - 2nd Sundays
  • Bible Study - 3rd Sundays


Our confirmation process is evolving

with the hope to make God a tangible presence in you or your teen's life, fostering a lasting relationship with Him.

  • Who should participate?

    Teens in high school who are in need of Confirmation (Confirmation Year 1 and 2) and post-Confirmation teens.

  • When is the 'right' time to get confirmed?

    In the Diocese of San Diego the minimum age for Confirmation is 15, so we encourage teens to consider beginning their preparation as they enter high school. Many will go through the preparation process as usual, while others take more time to discern or wait until they are farther into high school to make this commitment. There are also times, that a baptized Catholic hasn't been confirmed at the ordinary time and we certainly welcome them too. Whether you’re coming back to the Church, considering converting, or preparing to be a Godparent or sponsor, we want to help you see the Gifts of the Holy Spirit that are already at work in your life. Confirmation is all about living your Catholic faith and doing so fully, as God created you. Contact Noreen to learn more.
