Confirmation
“Every baptized person not yet confirmed can and should receive the sacrament of Confirmation. … Baptism is certainly valid and efficacious, but Christian initiation remains incomplete.”
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1306)
CONFIRMATION FOR ADULTS
Were you baptized in the Catholic Faith and made your First Communion but never celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation? If so, we can help you prepare to receive this Sacrament which will unite you more firmly to Christ, complete the grace of Baptism and the gifts of the Holy Spirit within you, and complete your Christian Initiation.
