Confirmation

Confirmation completes the grace of Baptism by a special outpouring of the gifts
of the Holy Spirit, which seal or ‘confirm’ the baptized in unison with Christ and equip
them for active participation in the worship and apostolic life of the Church”
(Catechism of the Catholic Church).

The Sacrament of Confirmation helps to root individuals deeply in their identity as God’s children, filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit. At Confirmation individuals choose and own their identify in the Church, committing themselves to lives that
reflect the Holy Spirit living within them.

Baptized adults wishing to receive this sacrament, or adults seeking admittance
into the Catholic Church, must take part in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults,
known as the RCIA.
