Confirmation​

 

Confirmation along with Baptism and Eucharist is a Sacrament of Initiation. It seals (Confirms) the vows of Baptism. Like Baptism, it can be received only once. Eucharist is the ongoing living out of the faith commitment made in Baptism and Confirmation.

​

Confirmation is a sacrament of Spiritual growth that enables a person to stand before the world as a witness to the power of the Holy Spirit. The person being confirmed is committed to Christ and is ready to be a responsible disciple in the Christian Community.
