Are you an adult Catholic, registered at St. Joseph Basilica or St. Barnabas and active in your parish?
Do you participate in Mass and receive Holy Communion regularly?
Have you accepted your baptismal responsibility to know Christ better and to make him better known?
Have you never received Confirmation, and now feel called to complete your Christian initiation with its celebration?
A weeknight formation series starts each fall to prepare adult Catholics for Confirmation. (It can also be helpful for adults baptized in a different Christian tradition who are preparing to become Catholic.)
Current series started September 26, 2024, leading up to Confirmation at the Cathedral of Christ the Light on Saturday February 15, 2025 and continuing a week beyond.
Read introduction to the series here.
Registration for current year is closed. Next series expected to begin in Fall 2025
If you are a member of St. Joseph Basilica but haven't officially registered at the parish, please do so here. If you are a member of St. Barnabas but haven't officially registered, contact their parish office.
If you are Catholic but have never received First Eucharist, you are invited to join Christian Initiation of Adults now to start your preparation.
If you are married civilly (not in the Catholic Church), please contact your pastor immediately regarding convalidation of your marriage.
