Under the direction and leadership of Bishop Lopes, the Ordinariate and therefore Presentation of the Lord Catholic Church has restored the ancient order for the sacraments of initiation, being Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. In his pastoral letter, Come, Holy Ghost, the Bishop emphasizes the essential unity of the sacraments, the role of parents as the primary educators of their children, and the readiness of the child to receive the free gift of sacramental grace. In this, the child, parents, and pastor discern together with the concrete marker's the Church has provided the child's readiness to receive a sacrament. For Confirmation, these markers are: having reached the age of reason (age seven), be instructed in a manner suitable to his age and station, be properly disposed to receive the sacrament, and be able to renew the promised made for him in Baptism.
Children who have not received these sacraments but have passed the minimum age may begin preparation during the upcoming school year with their age group and should plan to participate in several additional reflections, to be held throughout the duration of the school year.
To prepare and receive Confirmation in the spring of 2024, and before filling out this online sacrament registration form the candidate must be registered in preparation classes at Presentation (or contact our CGS Coordinator to register your child and receive information about reflection dates).
The required paperwork must be gathered, scanned, and uploaded by way of the links below. We will not be able to process your registration until all required documents have been received. (Even if you have submitted these documents in a previous year, it is required that you upload them again below along with your registration.)
