St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Portage and St. Mary Help of Christians, Briggsville
St. Mary Parish strives to be a welcoming community that is alive with prayer and service. Jesus challenges us to support one another, respecting our similarities and differences.
The
confirmation program is designed specifically for the preparation of receiving
the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation shouldn't be confused
with "graduation"; the successful completion of a program of study. As
Christians, we never graduate from exploring our faith. Confirmation is a
sacrament in which, through the laying on of the bishop's hands, prayer, and
anointing, those who have been baptized are strengthened by the Holy Spirit so
that they may firmly profess their faith and sincerely live up to it.
