The sacrament of confirmation completes the sacrament of baptism. If baptism is the sacrament of re-birth to a new and supernatural life, Confirmation is the Sacrament of maturity and coming of age.
Confirmation is a Sacrament in the Catholic Church in which the one who is confirmed (Confirmand) receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit through the imposition of hand and anointing with oils by the bishop. It’s considered a Sacrament of Initiation which means that it brings you deeper into communion with the Church.
In short it is the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost. Confirmation brings Catholics a deepening of baptismal grace and unites us more firmly to Christ. It increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit and leaves an indelible mark on the soul just like baptism.
Students are usually expected to receive their sacrament of Confirmation in Grade 6 but all older students who have not been confirmed are also welcome.
Note that to be able to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, your children MUST go to Reconciliation, which will be held during the retreat at the Sacred Heart Parish.
The date for next celebration of Confirmation is TBD
