The Sacrament of
Confirmation

The Sacrament of Confirmation is when the Holy Spirit comes to you in a special way making you strong in faith.  Those who received this Sacrament, by the power of the Holy Spirit, grow in faith and are ready for adult Christian life.

We are Confirmed by the Bishop.  He places his hands on us, prays, and blesses us with Holy Oil called chrism.

The Holy Spirit has 7 gifts to give us.  They are:

1. Wisdom 

2. Understanding

3. Counsel

4. Fortitude

5. Knowledge

6. Piety

7. Fear of the Lord.

It is up to us to recognize and use these gifts everyday.
