Adult Confirmation"You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you". The St. Timothy Adult Confirmation Program is a four-week program designed for Catholics seeking to “be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit” through the sacrament of confirmation. Catholics usually are confirmed as young people. However, some people are baptized, receive First Eucharist and attend religious education programs but, for a variety of reasons, don’t receive the sacrament of confirmation when they are young. If this describes your situation, then this program is for you. The Adult Confirmation Program is an overview of the essentials of the faith that prepares adults to receive the sacrament of confirmation at the Cathedral on Pentecost Sunday. This is a dynamic program of adult formation that combines lectures and presentations with Bible reflections and prayer. The sessions cover the essentials of the faith such as Scripture and Tradition, Jesus Christ, the Church, prayer and spirituality, Eucharist and worship, the sacraments and more. A reconciliation service is also included for those who have never participated in the sacrament of Reconciliation or have not experienced its healing power for a number of years. The four-week program takes place during Lent and is directed by Father Witte. Those baptized Catholics who have not received First Eucharist or religious instruction and are also interested in being confirmed in the Church are invited to participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Program offered at St. Timothy and directed by Deacon Tom Nolan.
