• CANDIDATE COMMITMENT

    Saint Matthew Catholic Church
  • "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare
    and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.'

                                                            - Jeremiah 29:11

    As a baptized Catholic, I am preparing for reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation, by which I will be more perfectly bound to the Catholic Church and enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the Faith as a witness of Christ.

    As a candidate for Confirmation, I promise the following:

    • I  will approach my Confirmation journey with an open mind and an open heart.
    • I will attend and will fully participate in all Chosen sessions and activities.
    • I will be respectful of the leaders and facilitators of the program and show appreciation for their time and effort.
    • I will show respect to those in my class who are on the journey with me.
    • I will attend Mass every Sunday and on all holy days of obligation.
    • I will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before my Confirmation.
    • I will accept more responsibility in my family, parish, and community by putting my talents and gifts at the service of others.
    • I will commit to daily prayer, praying especially for growth in faith, hope, and love.

    As I make these promises, I ask God to give me the grace to be open to his plans for my life-plans he reveals to me in prayer, in my talents and aspirations, and in the encouragement of those who know and love me. I place myself in the loving embrace of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in asking for help in fulfilling this commitment.
