Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation into the Catholic church. It is a fulfilment of the sacrament of Baptism through which we have been led towards a desire to live out our Christian faith.
It fully initiates us into the life of the Church. Conversion to Christ is a gradual process to which Confirmation gives added strength. The confirmed person is strengthened by God’s grace through the Holy Spirit for the lifelong journey of which this sacrament marks the beginning.
