The Sacrament of Confirmation
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.
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285
It is called Confirmation because it confirms and strengthens baptismal grace. Through this sacrament, the grace given in baptism is deepened.
Confirmation for Youth
Confirmation for youth generally takes place during 10th Grade. A young person who has fallen away from active involvement in the sacraments and/or formal religious formation is encouraged to return to an active faith life before preparing for Confirmation. For more information, click here.
