Confirmations

Office for Worship & Liturgy

Confirmation is a sacred sacrament in the Catholic Church that strengthens the baptized with the Holy Spirit, deepening their commitment to Christ and His Church. Through catechesis, anointing with chrism, and the laying on of hands, it empowers recipients to live out their faith boldly, rooted in Scripture and Tradition. This transformative rite fosters spiritual maturity, equipping Catholics to be active witnesses in the worshiping community and beyond.

Scheduling a Confirmation at Your Parish

All confirmation Masses in the Diocese of Phoenix are scheduled through the Office of the Bishop. For answers to questions about logistics and planning, contact Nayeli Garcia with the Bishop’s Office.
