Adult Confirmation for Fall Session is now closed.

Preparation for Adult Confirmation

In the Sacrament of Confirmation the apostles and the bishops who are their successors hand on to the baptized the special gift of the Holy Spirit, promised by Christ the Lord and poured out upon the apostles at Pentecost. Thus the initiation into the Christian life is completed so that believers are strengthened by power from heaven, made true witnesses of Christ in word and deed, and bound more closely to the Church. (Decree on Confirmation)

The Sacrament of Confirmation is conferred by using sacred chrism (or olive oil), mixed with balsam and blessed by the bishop, and by tracing the sign of the cross by the minister of the sacrament on the forehead of the recipient, while the same minister pronounces the words of the form. (Apostolic Constitution on the Sacrament of Confirmation)
