The Adult Confirmation
Program in the Archdiocese of Chicago is a collaborative effort between
our Bishops, parishes and the Office for Catechesis and the Office for
Divine Worship.
Adult Catholics
(ages 18 and older) who have been baptized and received First Communion
and are practicing their faith but have not celebrated the Sacrament of
Confirmation are invited to participate in the program.
Interested adults
must inform a priest, deacon, religious sister or brother, or a lay
minister in their home parish that they wish to participate in the
program. The candidate will
be asked to briefly communicate with their parish minister two times
during the process.
The interested
candidate then should register at one of the preparation sites listed on
the accompanying chart. Programs are offered in English, Polish and Spanish.
Most preparation
programs meet weekly for one and a half – two hours for eight sessions.
Most programs charge a
small registration fee, e.g. $30.00 - $40.00, to cover expenses for the
program.
Candidates are asked to
bring a copy of their baptismal certificate with them to the program.
