According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the effect of Confirmation is a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit that deepens and strengthens our baptismal graces which then: grounds us in the love of God, unites us firmly to Christ, increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit within us, makes our bond with the Church more perfect, and gives us a special strength of the Spirit to live our faith out loud and NEVER be ashamed of the Cross! (CCC 1302-3)

​You are cordially invited to a
​life-changing new journey!
Are you ready for a challenge? If so, say, “Yes” and join us for your Confirmation Preparation!

Families should be registered AND active ​parishioners of St. Ursula Church. Active means that your family attends Sunday Mass regularly and that you and your child participate in the various parish activities/ministries.

​Parents, your participation is not only encouraged, but necessary and precisely what you promised on the day of your child’s Baptism. Your children rely on you to display for them what it means to be a disciple of Christ. We presume that you are already attending Sunday Mass, spending time in daily prayer, and celebrating sacramental Confession because if you didn’t already have that relationship with Christ, why would it be so important to you that your child receive Confirmation, to deepen their relationship with Jesus? This is a beautiful time for you, as Catholic parents, to connect with your children in a whole new way and we are here to help with that! This is why we will have a special “parents only” session facilitated by our adult faith formation team.

Regarding Archdiocese of Baltimore Changes the Confirmation Preparation In keeping with his ongoing desire to better support families in the journey of faith, Archbishop Lori has announced his decision to change the standard age of Confirmation in our Archdiocese. Over the course of the next several years, all parishes in the Archdiocese of Baltimore will undergo a process of transition, shifting from the typical time of Confirmation down to the age of 9 years (roughly 4th grade). St. Ursula Church is not scheduled to begin the phase-in process until the fall of 2027, and it could take several years to complete the change. We will be in communication about when and how this change will unfold in our community.
