CONFIRMATION

Confirmation is usually celebrated when a child is in Grade 6 or older.  (Catholics who are 14 years or older who wish to be confirmed are invited to register for RCIA.)

THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION

Confirmation is the sacrament that strengthens and deepens our relationship with God, completing the grace of Baptism. Through the anointing with sacred chrism and the laying on of hands by the bishop, we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit in a special way. This sacrament empowers us to live as faithful witnesses of Christ, to grow in our Catholic faith, and to take an active role in the life and mission of the Church.

It was believed that this sacrament anointed the believer as a ‘soldier of Christ’ and he/she was expected to defend the faith publicly by word and action

(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285, 1305).

In addition, a copy of the sponsor’s Confirmation Certificate is required on or before the Orientation Day (Date is yet to be determined). We kindly ask that you inform potential sponsors in advance, so they have time to request a copy from the parish where they received the sacrament if they do not already have one.
