Confirmation
Sealed with the Spirit: The Meaning of Confirmation
The Sacrament of Confirmation is a vital step in the life of every Catholic, completing the grace of Baptism and uniting us more deeply to Christ and His Church. In Confirmation, the Holy Spirit is poured out upon us just as at Pentecost, strengthening us with His gifts—wisdom, understanding, right judgment, courage, knowledge, reverence, and holy fear. These gifts root us more firmly in our identity as beloved children of God and empower us to live as bold witnesses of Christ in the world.
Like Baptism, Confirmation is received only once, as it imprints an indelible spiritual mark on the soul—a permanent seal that we belong to Christ. This sacred encounter equips us to spread and defend the faith with joy, courage, and conviction. If you would like to learn more about the sacrament or the preparation process, we warmly invite you to reach out to the parish office for more information.
