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 Christian Initiation page.
Typically, Catholics are Confirmed as teenagers, and our regular process is open to High Schoolers as early as Freshman year.
Saint Brigid Confirmation-Prep Process
Saint Brigid Parish offers a 2 year Confirmation preparation process focused on building intentional and personal relationships with God and one another. This process is part of GIFT, our Saint Brigid Parish process for faith formation. Teens preparing for Confirmation will attend 3 Confirmation-prep Sunday Sessions, a weekend retreat, and youth group sessions. We also require teens to serve at a youth ministry service event, or Parish-wide service event once year. It is important that teens preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation attend Mass every Sunday with their family, friends, or sponsor.
Registration for Year 1 and Year 2 Candidates is out now! Please click on the year below to see the requirements for each year.

Confirmation Preparation
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 Kayla to learn more.
Sacramental Certificate or Letter of Good Standing
Have you already received a sacrament at Saint Brigid Parish and require a certificate for confirmation or reception into full communion of the Catholic Church? Or do you need a letter of good standing to be a confirmation sponsor?
