Adult Confirmation

Adult Catholics (beyond High School) who have been baptized in the Catholic Church, received the sacrament of First Communion, and are seeking to receive the sacrament of Confirmation must be prepared at their parish to receive the sacrament. You should attend Mass at St. Albert the Great to prepare for Confirmation at St. Albert the Great. 

 The Bishop of Austin confirms Catholic adults twice per year, at a special Confirmation Mass on a Saturday morning in the Fall and in the Spring at a Catholic Church in the Diocese of Austin. Confirmation preparation at St. Albert the Great begins 6 to 8 weeks before the Confirmation date. 

Contact Deacon David Ochoa ([email protected]) by email or by contacting the parish office for more information about the next Adult Confirmation Preparation.  If you have not received First Communion, you must meet with Deacon David to discuss your preparation. 

Those being Confirmed must have a valid Baptismal Certificate with Notations showing other sacraments received, or provide sacrament certificates. Contact the Catholic Church where you were baptized to obtain your Baptism Certificate with Notations. 

Please read carefully the Expectations for Catholic Adult Confirmation Preparation:  St. Albert the Great Parish Expectations for Catholic Adult Confirmation Preparation
