CONFIRMATION
|
|
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask
the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you
forever-the Spirit of truth...The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom
the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will
remind you of everything I have said to you." JN 14:15-17; 26.

Confirmation
perfects Baptismal grace; it is the sacrament which gives the Holy Spirit
in order to root us more deeply as children of God, incorporate us more
firmly into Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church, associate us more
closely with its mission, and help us bear witness to the Christian faith
in words accompanied by deeds.
A candidate
for Confirmation who has attained the age of reason must profess the
faith, be in the state of grace, have the intention of receiving the
sacrament, and be prepared to assume the role of disciple and witness to
Christ, both within the Church community and in the world.
Young
adults/teens seeking the Sacrament of Confirmation may do so by enrolling
in the Confirmation Program of our High
School Youth Ministry.
