Confirmation

 “Work hard every day at increasing your purity of heart, which consists in appraising things and weighing them in the balance of God’s will.”
​— St. Francis de Sales

CONFIRMATION APPLICATION 
Service Ministry Sheet for Confirmation 2021-22
The Bishop administers the Sacrament of Confirmation each year to the youth in tenth grade who have completed the preparation process.  The candidate should have completed the required Faith Formation education before entering the final phase of preparation for Confirmation.  There are no homeschool preparation classes for youth who are to be Confirmed.  Please contact the Faith Formation office at 716-668-2070 for more information.


Letters of recommendation to be a sponsor for a Confirmation Candidate are needed from the Sponsors Parish.   If you are a parishioner of St. Gabriel's and looking for a recommendation letter, we issue letters to members of our parish who are registered for at least three months, regularly attend Mass and who have received the Sacraments.  Regular use of envelopes indicates attendance at Mass.  Sponsors  are to be Baptized, Confirmed, and if married, have done so in conformity with the laws of the Catholic Church.
