If you are a baptized Catholic (high school age or older) who has received First Communion but have not had the chance to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, the Church welcomes you to partake in this grace-filled Sacrament. Classes will be offered in the Spring of 2021, in a weekly series of lessons led by Fr. Wagner and Fr. Bresnahan. Classes culminate with the sacrament of Confirmation conferred by the Bishop of Arlington at The Cathedral of St. Thomas More in Arlington, VA.
