The Sacrament of Confirmation
Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation, whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285Confirmation is normally received during the Junior year of High School in this Diocese, and preparation takes place within the senior high youth ministry program. All students wishing to be confirmed must attend confirmation classes. For more information, contact our Minister, Annie Nassis at 865-474-8609 or annieatallsaints@yahoo.com.
Baptized, Catholic adults, over age 20, who have received their first Communion and wish to receive the sacrament of Confirmation should contact Tanya Belanger thebelangers@tds.net or 671-2392 to register. Classes begin in August.
Those who have not been baptized or have not received their first communion should visit the online RCIA Group for program details.
