Confirmation

Confirmation is one of the three special sacraments that welcomes a person as a full member of the Catholic Church. It perfectly completes the journey started with Baptism. During Confirmation, the promises made at Baptism are reinforced, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given. This empowers individuals to go out and share the message of Christ, much like how the apostles were sent out after Pentecost. It’s a beautiful way to deepen your faith and connect with the community!

For Adults?

Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA) (18 years old and over)  is offered once a year. The sessions meet once per week in the evenings.  Sessions typically begin in late August or early September and end at Easter.   To register for A OCIA reparation, please contact Laura Wyatt at (304) 425-3664.

Sponsors:
Each person inquiring about the faith will be matched with a Catholic sponsor who will guide them throughout their journey. A sponsor is an individual who has been baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church, is at least 16 years old, actively participates in the Eucharist and Reconciliation sacraments, and engages in ministry. Sponsors can attend classes alongside you and may also accompany you to weekly Mass to help you become acquainted with the Sacred Heart community. If you have a specific Catholic individual in mind that you would like to journey with, please inform the OCIA Director.  Please note that sponsors cannot be your parent, spouse, fiancé/e, boyfriend, or girlfriend.
There are parish volunteers ready to assist in this role. If you’re unsure of a Catholic to select as your sponsor, we can pair you with a member of our parish community.
