What to Wear to Confirmation

So Confirmation is quickly approaching and we are getting a lot of questions about what to wear. Here are the answers. Take a look and if yo have any questions go ahead and send an email to highschoolministry@gmail.com



Colors

  • It is very appropriate to wear read on the day of your confirmation. Red is a color associated with the Holy Spirit and the sacrament is one of receiving a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So red makes sense.

  • we suggest red as an accent color for the men. While a woman may be able to pull of a red dress, a man has a much harder time pulling off a red suit. So, think Red ties



  • Men: What to wear

    Professional Attire
