“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

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.  Candidates will be expected to participate actively in several mandatory sessions on Sunday afternoons, a retreat, and write up some information on their progress.
