Confirmation

“Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the ‘sacraments of Christian initiation…the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1258
 

High School Confirmation preparation is underway!  Our candidates will be confirmed on April 1, 2022! 

Confirmation in the Archdiocese of New Orleans is conferred in the 11th grade.  Holy Name of Jesus prepares students for reception of the sacrament in the months immediately preceding it.  

For more information, contact Diane Blair at 504-865-7430, ext. 206 or dblair@hnjchurch.org.

Adults who may not have received the Sacrament of Confirmation are welcome to participate in our preparation program for the sacrament, which will start in January. The sacrament will be celebrated in late Spring.  Students from Loyola and Tulane are welcome to participate.

If you are interested, please contact Rev. Gregg Grovenburg, SJ at 504-865-2328 or email him at ghgroven@loyno.edu.
