Adult Confirmation

Contact Pat Novak - (804) 740-4044, ext. 113


Many adult Catholics, for one reason or another, have never been confirmed. If you have been baptized Catholic and received Communion, but were never confirmed, please give Pat Novak a call at the Parish Office for more information and to register for this process.
