Adult Confirmation

In the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Adult Confirmation is offered by our Bishops twice a year, on or near Pentecost Sunday, and normally approximately the second Sunday in January.

As needed, we offer Adult Confirmation Preparation twice a year to our parishioners: once in the late summer through the Fall with Confirmation in January, and the other from late January/early February through the Spring with Confirmation at Pentecost.
