CONFIRMATION

Walking with Christ

Confirmation is the Completion of the Sacrament of Baptism. Your Baptism marked the start of your sacramental relationship with Jesus Christ. Your soul changed permanently as it was cleansed with grace from God. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit strengthens these graces and gives you more of them.  This brings you closer to Christ and better prepares you to face the challenges of daily Christian life.

Confirmation is ancient and established by Christ Himself.  In Acts 19, Paul the Apostle lays his hands (just like the bishop does during Confirmation today) on a group of believers and the Holy Spirit descends upon them. When we are confirmed, we are sharing in an ancient and rich tradition that millions of Catholics have participated in throughout history.

The Rite of Confirmation

The Holy Spirit Descends

The heart of the Confirmation rite is the laying on of hands by the bishop or parish pastor and the anointing with sacred chrism oil.

Chrism oil, the perfumed oil that bishops (and at times priests) use to make the sign of the cross on our foreheads when we are confirmed, signifies a connection to our Baptism – the first time we were anointed with oil.   Chrism also signifies healing and cleansing.

We adopt the name of a biblical figure or saint whom we find inspiring at our Confirmation. This shows our intention to copy their dedication to God, their holiness, their charity.  Our Confirmation name reminds us that we have a heavenly friend who will pray and intercede for us on our Christian journey.
