Youth Confirmation

What is Confirmation?                                                                                                                                       

The Confirmation program is a two-year process in which young Catholics prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Teens prepare to be initiated into the church as adults. This is a time for them to make a decision about their faith. 

This program is for teenagers in high school. Registration takes place the summer before classes begin. Registration documents can be found below or contact the Pastoral Office at (626) 291-5900 for any questions.

Become a Confirmation Catechist - The St. Luke Faith Formation Program is looking for parishioners who are enthusiastic about sharing the Good News in active and insightful ways to our youth. If you feel the calling to lead our Confirmation candidates through their sacramental journey, please contact Barbara Hansen, Director of Religious Education, at [email protected] for more information or to schedule a meeting.


The Sacrament of Confirmation

The sacraments create an intimate connection with God. Three sacraments complete our initiation into the Catholic faith: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. In Baptism, we are born into the intimate connection. The connection is nourished and sustained with the Eucharist. In Confirmation, our baptismal grace and bond with the Church is strengthened. In the final sacrament of initiation into the Catholic faith, the oil of chrism seals us with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit forever; an indelible mark that cannot be repeated. 

Mission Statement of St. Luke the Evangelist Confirmation Process

St. Luke’s Confirmation Process serves the community by creating opportunities for teens to encounter Christ, preparing teens to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, and developing evangelistic leaders.

Vision Statement of St. Luke the Evangelist Confirmation Process

St. Luke’s Confirmation Process evangelizes each teen we encounter by developing personal, Christ-centered relationships, welcoming them into a Catholic community filled with adult and teen Marian role models, providing Catholic catechesis based on the Catechism, Scripture, and personal witness, and fostering an understanding a desire to partake in a Sacramental life with the intent of creating active apostles who will spread the Gospel to all people through their lifestyle example, vibrantly alive faith, and knowledge of the Catholic Church’s teachings.
