Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation, (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) through which people become members of the Christian community.

Preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation provides people with an opportunity to affirm the faith into which they were baptized. To experience again and be open to the sign of God’s grace in their lives. Confirmation also strengthens our appreciation of God’s involvement in our lives by helping us recognize the action of the Gifts of the Spirit within us. It offers us opportunities to experience the spiritual strength from the Christian Community.
