Adult Confirmation classes are offered for adults (18+) who have been baptized and received First Eucharist in the Roman Catholic Church. You should be attending Mass regularly and be registered at St. John XXIII Catholic Community in Albuquerque, NM. If your reason for pursuing the Sacrament of Confirmation at this time is because you have been asked to be a baptismal godparent, that is wonderful! Please remember being a godparent comes with the responsibility to live your faith which includes, minimally, remaining a Catholic in good standing and attending Mass weekly. If this is the right path for you, please click the title for more information.
