Confirmation: Strengthening the Holy Spirit's Gifts

Confirmation is one of the sacraments of initiation in the Catholic Church, marking the completion of baptismal grace. It is a significant step in a Catholic's spiritual journey, empowering them to live out their faith more fully.

The Sacrament of Confirmation

During Confirmation, candidates receive the Holy Spirit, which strengthens their relationship with God and equips them for a life of service. This sacrament is often celebrated during adolescence, but adults can also receive it.

“Confirmation deepens our commitment to Christ and His Church.”

Living Out the Gifts of the Spirit

After Confirmation, individuals are called to actively participate in the Church and share their faith with others. The gifts of the Holy Spirit—wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord—are meant to guide them in their daily lives.
