Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to an exciting and rewarding faith-filled year for your family. Your child in Grade Six is invited to prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in spring 2026.
REGISTRATION
The preparation for Confirmation begins with a meeting in the church on:
Saturday, November 1st @ 10:30am OR
Wednesday, November 5th, @ 6:00pm.
Students are welcome to attend the registration meeting however only a parent may register the child for Confirmation.
BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE
If your child was not baptised at Divine Infant, please bring a copy of their baptismal certificate to the registration.
You can also submit a copy by email to sacramental.coordinator@divineinfantparish.ca
REGISTRATION FEE
The registration fee is $35.00. Payment can be made on the night of registration by cash or cheque, or you can pay online
on our website under the Confirmation section.
SPONSOR
Each candidate will require a sponsor. This individual must be a Catholic in good standing who has received the Sacraments
of Initiation including Confirmation. We require a sponsorship form to be completed. They must be at least 16 years of age.
Father Martin will be meeting with the students in their schools several times throughout the year to help prepare them for Confirmation.
Students will also attend a retreat at the parish with their schools. For those students in the Parish School program, Father Martin will
meet with the candidates at the parish during several evening classes and an evening retreat.
As the Archbishop or his delegate will be conferring the sacrament of Confirmation on the students, we are
awaiting our Confirmation dates from the Archbishop's office. We have asked for a late May or early June date. Once known
we will update and advise you as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact Nathalie Desjardins at sacramental.coordinator@divineinfantparish.ca
I look forward to working with you to prepare your child for this major step in their life of faith.
May God Bless you and your family.
Fr. Martin Okwudiba
