Confirmation
Sacrament of Confirmation
Confirmation is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation along with Baptism and Holy Communion. Through the Sacrament of Confirmation, the individual receives strengthening of the Holy Spirit as he or she continues the journey of Faith with Christ. At Confirmation, the individual renews his or her baptismal promises by making a Profession of Faith, and their covenant relationship with God is deepened. Though the sacrament of Confirmation, the person receives the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord and an indelible mark is placed on the soul.
