During the Easter season of 2026, Confirmation will be celebrated with youth who are
finishing their eighth-grade year. We will attempt to schedule at least 75% of the Confirmation
ceremonies during the Easter season. Any remaining Confirmation ceremonies unable to be
scheduled during the Easter season will occur in Fall of 2026 for youth beginning their ninth grade year.

The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated in the context of the celebration of the Mass to better show the connection between the Sacraments of Initiation, particularly during the Eucharistic Revival in the parishes. In order to focus on the Confirmation Mass, the Bishop will meet with the candidates for Confirmation by Deanery at a separate occasion, rather than prior to each Confirmation Mass.

All Confirmandi and parents are to attend Bishop Kulick’s Confirmation Reflections. St. Sebastian Parish is in Deanery 7 and will meet with Bishop Kulick on Monday xxxxxxx at 6:00 PM at St. Joseph Church in Uniontown.

The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated at St. Sebastian Parish on Monday, April 27, 2026 at 6:00 PM. The Parishes included: Epiphany of Our Lord, Monessen; St. Peter, Brownsville; St. Anne, Rostraver; St. John the Baptist, Perryopolis, St. Cecilia, Grindstone; Holy Family, West Newton; and St. Sebastian.
