Proper attire:
- Gentlemen: Please wear a button down shirt, dress pants, a tie, dress shoes, and a sport’s coat.- Ladies: Please wear a nice dress that covers from shoulder to mid thigh, with heels, sandals, or dress shoes. You can wear any color you like, but traditionally ladies wear white as a way to remember their other sacraments of initiation.
** We recommend dresses be knee length, or only just above the knee. During Confirmation, the candidate kneels before Archbishop up on the elevated sanctuary. This means if your dress is too short, you risk exposure in front of the congregation.
