Confirmation

Requirements 

Diocese of Rochester’s principles guiding sacramental preparation is as follows:

  • All sacramental celebrations are actions of the gathered community.
  • Parents are the primary educators of their children and are to be deeply involved in their children’s sacramental preparation. When a child prepares to celebrate a sacrament, the readiness of the family is a consideration.
  • All preparation is based on readiness, not age or grade level.
  • Children who have reached the age of reason (seven) must be given adequate basic catechesis so that their participation in the sacrament may be a free response of faith.
  • Preparation is to be short and focused; the purpose is to prepare a person to receive a ritual.
  • Preparation is grounded in ritual catechesis and includes prayer, Scripture reflection, faith sharing, and ritual celebration.
