At Confirmation we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we confirm and renew our baptismal promises, and we make a more mature commitment to living a life in the Christian faith.
Children in the 8th grade at Immaculate Heart of Mary School and all students enrolled in the 8th Grade IHM Religious Education Program are prepared for the Sacrament of Confirmation before the end of the school year.
In accordance with Archdiocesan guidelines, only those students who also successfully complete the 7th Grade Religious Education course of study are prepared to receive the Sacrament. Spread over a two-year period, the Confirmation preparation program encompasses several different dimensions, including doctrine, worship, and service.
Parents of children not attending IHM School should contact the IHM Religious Education Program at (914) 723-7593 for more information regarding Confirmation. Or, visit the IHM Religious Education pages on this website
