CONFIRMATION JOURNEY
Confirmation for teens at St. Peter is a journey.
It's your chance to say YES to God, YES to faith, YES to Church.
The Sacrament of Confirmation enriches the baptized with the strength of the Holy Spirit so that they can better witness to Christ in word and deed (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], no. 1285).
