What is Confirmation?

Confirmation is about stirring up the Holy Spirit in our lives!  We have already recieved the Holy Spirit in our baptism.  The Sacrament of Confirmation gives us a special outpouring and 'stirring up' of the Holy Spirit, as was granted to the apostles at Pentecost. (CCC 1302)


Confirmation Myths and Truths

Confirmation is NOT:
  1.  Graduation from Religious Education classes
  2. “Becoming an adult” in the church.  It’s not the Catholic version of a bar/ bat mitzvah. 
  3.   ‘Choosing to be Catholic’ 
  4. ‘Jumping through hoops’
Confirmation IS:
  1. The beginning of the journey as fully initiated Catholics!
  2.  Confirmation is about a sacrament, not about age or maturity.
  3.  Confirmation is the completion of the sacrament of Baptism, which means you’ve always been Catholic – from the moment of your Baptism! 
  4. Confirmation preparation offers various tools for your spiritual growth
