Confirmation

The Holy Spirit and Holy Family Catholic Churches of Mitchell will confirm those in their 9th & 10th grade year of high school in 2026. We are in discussion with Most Reverend Bishop DeGrood and the Diocese on moving confirmation reception up to an earlier age and will provide an update in the future regarding Confirmation for 2027.

2026 Confirmation Mass will be Wednesday, April 15 at 6:30 PM at Holy Family Catholic Church for grades 9 & 10.
