Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. - CCC 1285

 Confirmation is the sacrament through which we receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit and are empowered to live as courageous witnesses of Christ. In this sacrament, we are sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and are called to share our faith boldly. Our Parish offers comprehensive confirmation preparation programs for youth and adults. Reach out to our Parish office for more information on the sacrament of confirmation and how to enrol in the preparation process.

In the Sacrament of Baptism, as we begin our journey into God’s family, the Church, we believe that the gift of the Holy Spirit is poured into our souls. This gift is then strengthened and enriched with the Sacrament of Confirmation, normally administered by the Bishop. We often use the symbol of the dove to represent the Holy Spirit, in recognition of the form in which the same Spirit descended upon Jesus on the occasion of his Baptism in the River Jordan (Mt 3:16). We also use the symbol of flame, representing the tongues of fire which descended upon the Disciples in the Upper Room when the Spirit came upon them with strength for their mission after Jesus’ Ascension into Heaven (Acts 2:3).
