The Sacrament of Confirmation
The Sacrament of Confirmation completes Baptism and it empowers us for our mission and vocation. We first receive the Spirit at Baptism, and then are "sealed" by the Spirit in a special way in Confirmation, which is the "completion of baptismal grace"
​
(CCC 1285)
What is Confirmation
Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments and is known as a Sacrament of Initiation, along with Baptism and Eucharist. It’s seen as the completion of Baptism, where a baptized person is "confirmed" or strengthened in their faith. Through Confirmation, Catholics believe they receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit to deepen their relationship with God and to strengthen them to live as a committed follower of Christ.
