It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed." (CCC # 1285)

Our parish celebrates the Sacrament of Confirmation each fall with either the Bishop or one of his delegates. If your teenager is interested in making his or her Confirmation, please contact the parish office at 413-743-2110. Adults who wish to make their Confirmation, should also contact our office.
