Sacrament of Confirmation
Confirmation completes the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, the Eucharist and Confirmation).
This Sacrament enriches and strengthens the grace received at baptism and brings us into a stronger bond with the Church - through the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit [Read about this in Isaiah 11:2]. As confirmed Catholics, we have the responsibility to share the faith, defend the faith and help lead other people closer to Christ."Jesus invites us to build His Kingdom: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit." [CCC 849]
