Confirmation Gifts

The sacrament of Confirmation reminds us of our Strength of Faith and Character.

No one ever said growing up Catholic would be easy. When you are a young woman or a young man receiving the sacrament of confirmation, you are usually at an impressionable age.

Make sure your confirmation candidate understands the meaning of being confirmed in Christ: From Luke 3:22: 'the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, “ You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.'

Anointing with holy oil (chrism) and the laying on of hands are the acts involved in the confirmation process. In fact, the name “Christian” means, “he who is anointed.”
