CONFIRMATION: Confirming my commitment to Christ!

The sacraments are rituals, celebrations in which the Christian community proclaims the presence of God among us in a specific way. For example, Baptism welcomes a person into the Church and celebrates God’s loving presence within that person. In Penance or Reconciliation, we celebrate God’s forgiving love. God’s healing presence is celebrated in the Anointing of the Sick.

Celebrating Confirmation, or any of the sacraments, is essential to being a spiritually healthy erson. Just as you are maturing physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually, you should also be maturing spiritually.
