The word “Confirmation” then reminds us that this Sacrament brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace: it unites us more firmly to Christ, it renders our bond with the Church more perfect, and it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith, ... to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of his Cross (cf.Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 1303). --Pope Francis

Student who are 15 years of age (as of April 2021) and older are eligible to register for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Preparation for Confirmation will be during High School Faith Formation on Wednesdays, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. an additional fee of $45 will be added for Confirmation students.
You must register for both High School Faith Formation and Confirmation.
If you have any questions regarding the Confirmation program, please contact the parish office at 817-421-1387.
We highly encourage each student to volunteer within their church community and their city’s community multiple times before they are confirmed. In order to volunteer at Good Shepherd, your student must be current with their Safe Environment training.
Your sponsor is a huge part of this incredible process. They should be someone that beautifully represents the Catholic faith to you, and someone that you would like to model your life after.
Requirements for a sponsor:
If you have any questions about selecting a sponsor, please email me. I will happily help you pick someone that will aid you in this process. - Johnny Philp
What an incredible part of Church history—changing your name to show the world your conversion of heart. We see it all throughout scripture:
ABRAM ABRAHAM
“No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.” -Genesis 17:5
JACOB ISRAEL
“Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans have overcome.” -Genesis 32:28
SIMON PETER
“And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas (which is translated to Peter)” –John 1:42
“Changing” your name shows a conversion of heart, and radiates God’s goodness to the entire world. Throughout scripture, when someone was assigned a new name, it signaled a growth in Christian maturity to the world—choose a name of a Saint that has helped you grow in that Christian Maturity.
Students should complete this form and turn it into your leader by March 21st, 2018.
This time is especially critical for students preparing for Confirmation. These sessions will be strictly focused on material relating specifically to Confirmation. They will contain powerful teachings, dynamic group discussion, dinner/fellowship, and more!
Should students be absent for any reason, the class will need to be made up by watching the video from the class, and answering the make-up questions and essay prompt that will be sent to those who miss the class. Please reach out to Katie Downey at if your student will not be able to attend a class.”
Each student is expected to be dressed in full "Sunday best." The dress code will be covered in more specifics at the Confirmation Classes in the Spring, as well as emailed out to all the parents. Students must submit a photo of themselves wearing their Confirmation outfit by 10:00 PM, on Wednesday April 1st.
