Behold, I make all things new.
We gladly welcome you to our parish, trusting that if you are seeking Christ, you will find Him here; if you are sorrowing, you will receive comfort; if you are troubled in spirit, you will receive the blessing of peace; if discouraged, you will rejoice in hope; if friendless find companionship and Christian love. That these and other blessings may be your portion is our prayer.
I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35
"Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit."
In Confirmation, Christians receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit and deepening of baptismal graces needed to grow as mature disciples of Christ in the life of the Church.

Confirmation is about the descent of the Holy Spirit on the 12 apostles at Pentecost and upon your children at confirmation.
They will receive the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit (wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord) which will help them live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Confirmation takes place on Wednesday May 7th at 7:00 pm.
So, if your child is in grade 8, please click the registration button below.

“Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”

Yes, but they will have to be baptized first. This decision is entirely up to the candidate themselves. Please contact the parish if this applies to you.
Those children who are in St. Alexander school will be prepared by the teacher and the pastor (Fr. Paul). Those who are not at St. Alexander’s school will be asked to attend a few special classes run by one of our volunteers with the support and involvement of Fr. Paul. The goal here is that you and your children are able to enjoy everything that confirmation has to offer for their spiritual lives. Additional confirmation resources are available online at https://www.dynamiccatholic.com/plus/decision-point.html The videos are available free, and the workbook is also free, you just have to pay shipping.
Confirmation candidates may pick their own sponsors. Sponsors have to be 16 years or older, can’t be their parents and must be catholics in good standing. Candidates will be learning about this more as the year progresses, there is no rush.
