Confirmation

“The sacrament of confirmation confers a character. By it, the baptized continue their path of Christian initiation. They are enriched with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and are more closely linked to the Church. They are made strong and more firmly obliged by word and deed to witness to Christ and spread and defend the faith.”(Canon 879)
The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in the spring when a child is in the eighth grade or above. Children are required to attend P.R.E. classes or have been in a parochial school for the year prior to receiving the sacrament. The Sacrament of Confirmation completes the process of initiation into the full life of the Catholic Church and both renews and strengthens our baptismal call to live our faith in Christ in our world.
