Sacrament of Confirmation

Confirmation is the third and final Sacrament of Initiation. All High School Teens are eligible for the Sacrament if they've had one year of catechesis prior to the year of Confirmation preparation. On average, our Confirmation class is made up of High School Freshman from almost all the local and Catholic High Schools in the Parkville/Baltimore area.
Our Confirmation Program consists of multiple elements:
1. Six Confirmation Sessions
2. Service/Parish Participation Component
3. Confirmation Interview
4. Confirmation Liturgy
Faith Direct is our preferred payment method. You do not need to have a Faith Direct account to use this payment option, but you will have the option to set up an account if you prefer. This is also an easy and convenient way to make your weekly contributions to St. Ursula Church.
