Confirmation
At Confirmation, we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit and we are filled with God's grace through the anointing of chrism oil and the laying on of hands by a bishop. Through the Sacrament of Confirmation, we renew our baptismal promises and commit to living a Christian life. While Baptism is the sacrament of new life, Confirmation gives birth to that life. While Baptism initiates us into the Church and names us as children of God, Confirmation calls us forth as God’s children and unites us more fully to the mission of Christ in the world. |
