CONFIRMATION
Baptism, the Eucharist and Confirmation together constitute the Sacraments of Christian Initiation. Confirmation more perfectly enjoins the baptized person to Christ and His Church and brings an increase and deepening of the grace further completing our Baptism. This seal of the Holy Spirit bestows on us spiritual gifts which help us to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross. During the Mass, the Confirmandi proclaim their faith by declaring the Apostles’ Creed.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is conferred through the anointing with chrism on the forehead, which is done by the laying on of the hand, and through the words: “Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Is your child in Grade 6? Did you know we celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation in Grade 7 in the Diocese of Hamilton?
Confirmations at our parish are normally celebrated in the Fall of each year. It is best to prepare well in advance.
