Catechesis for Confirmation

Are you or anyone you know interested in becoming Catholic? This fall, Our Lady of Lourdes is hosting classes for those who are interested in becoming Catholic and who are already baptized Christians themselves. Normally, we believe that to become Catholic you have to do the full RCIA process, which is certainly valuable and informative, but it is a fairly long process, normally taking several months. If one has been raised and baptized as a practicing Christian, they can become Catholic in a much shorter time frame. Instead of several months, we are offering seven weekly classes for those interested in becoming Catholic. The dates of the classes are September 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th, October 7th, and October 14th. They will be held in the Enrichment Center at Our Lady of Lourdes on Thursdays, 6:45-8:00pm. As in RCIA, those entering the Catholic Church will need a practicing Catholic to be their Confirmation sponsor. Attending the classes at Our Lady of Lourdes does not mean you have to belong to the parish; instead, you can still be confirmed and belong to another parish of your choice. The date of confirmation would be decided between you and your respective pastor.

If you or someone else you know is Catholic and baptized, but has never been confirmed, this would also be an opportunity to receive the necessary instruction to receive the sacrament of Confirmation.

If you know someone who has been interested in becoming Catholic, but has not been able to complete the longer RCIA schedule, then please let them know about this great opportunity! If there are any questions, please email Fr. Trummer. Email – mtrummer@dio.org

Since this video has been filmed, an additional week has been added to the schedule, making the course 7 weeks along. The additional date added will be October 14th. Attending the classes at Our Lady of Lourdes does not mean one has to currently be involved with Our Lady of Lourdes parish, nor does one have to become a member of Our Lady of Lourdes once being brought into the Church. Instead, you can still be confirmed and belong to another parish of your choiceThe date for one’s confirmation can be decided between an individual and their respective pastor. As in RCIA, those entering the Catholic Church will need a practicing Catholic to be their Confirmation sponsor. If you or someone else you know is Catholic and baptized, but has never been confirmed, this would also be an opportunity to receive the necessary instruction to receive the sacrament of Confirmation.
