Confirmation completes the Sacrament of Baptism and “seals” those who are baptized with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Confirmation deepens our life in Christ Jesus begun in Baptism, and unites us more closely as living witnesses to Christ and Christ’s mission in the world.
Confirmation is the third (and final) sacrament of initiation. By this sacrament, baptized Catholics are more perfectly joined to the Body of Christ, the Church, and they receive the special grace of the Holy Spirit. They become true public witnesses of Jesus and His gospel and commit themselves to spread and defend the Catholic faith by word and deed
The Gift of the Spirit in Confirmation is bestowed by the laying on of hands and anointing with chrism accompanied by prayer. All baptized persons can and should be confirmed.
We are called to serve. The purpose of the service requirements is to help your child grow into a generous, kind, loving adult.
Below are the Works of Mercy. These are how we respond to those in need.
I was hungry, and you gave me food,
I was thirsty, and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you gave me clothing,
I was sick and you took care of me,
I was in prison and you visited me.
Lord, when did I see you hungry
and feed you,
or thirsty and give you drink?
When did I see you a stranger and welcome you,
or naked and clothe you? When did I see you ill
or in prison, and visit you?
Whatever you did for one of the least of my sisters and brothers,
you did for Me.
Matthew 25:31+
