Before Jesus ascended to the Father, He promised to send us His Spirit (John 16:7-8). We receive this Spirit first at Baptism, and that baptismal gift is deepened and strengthened when we receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. This sacrament, instituted by Christ, effects the “special outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost” (CCC1302).

Just as the Apostles and Mary received the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost more than two thousand years ago, Confirmation prepares your hearts and minds to receive this beautiful gift. The Sacrament of Confirmation allows you to be strengthened and blessed by the Holy Spirit of God.

It is very important to prepare yourselves for the Sacrament of Confirmation, because contrary to popular belief Confirmation is not the end of your faith formation, but rather the beginning of your faith journey as young Catholics. St. Paul said, “But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us, by putting his seal on us and giving us his Spirit in our hearts as a first installment.”
