The three Sacraments of Christian Initiation are Baptism, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. Confirmation at Assumption BVM Parish is celebrated in the seventh grade. Every adult Catholic should be confirmed in order to receive the needed graces to fully live a Catholic life, and to take on responsibilities for the mission of the Church.
Parents have a duty to prepare the children whom they presented to the Church for Baptism to be fully initiated in Confirmation. Children who attend ABVM School will be prepared during religion class. Those children who attend a public or private school should be enrolled in ABVM's religious preparation program, which we refer to as Catholic Youth Faith Formation.

It is never too late to receive Confirmation if you did not receive it as a youth. If you are 18 years or older and would like to be confirmed please speak to the Pastor or one of the deacons after Sunday Mass, or make an appointment at 610-869-2722 or [email protected]
