02. Confirmation
Confirmation marks the point in a Catholic’s journey at which you affirm for yourself the faith into which you have been baptized and your intention to live as a disciple and share your experience of God’s great Love with others.
Confirmation can make a real difference in a person’s life. It can give you a chance to think about your baptism and what it means to be a Catholic. Through Confirmation, your personal relationship with Christ is strengthened. You receive an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that allows you to be a missionary witness of Jesus Christ and His love in your family, neighborhood, and society.
