Youth Ministry - Confirmation
Contact: Jenny Arthur (760) 753-6254 youth@saintjohnencinitas.org
"You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses." — Acts 1:8
Confirmation is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation, inviting you to become a full and active participant in the life of the Church.
In Baptism, we are reborn as children of God.
In the Eucharist, we are nourished by Christ’s Body and Blood.
In Confirmation, we are anointed with the Holy Spirit.
You’re strengthened by the Holy Spirit, rooted in your identity as God’s child, and sent to live with joy, purpose, and courage.
Through retreats, Adoration, youth-led Masses, and real community, you don’t just learn the faith — you live it.
Confirmation is where your faith becomes a mission.
