The Sacrament of Confirmation strengthens God’s power within us in living our Christian Faith. Confirmation makes us witnesses to Christ. The matter of Confirmation is chrism and the laying on of hands. The form is “Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.” The effects of Confirmation include an indelible mark upon the soul, an increase in sanctifying grace, and an outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Confirmation is celebrated within the Mass, during which a renewal of baptismal promises is made. • The ordinary minister of this sacrament is the bishop. • Other important aspects of Confirmation include the sponsor and the rite of peace.
As confirmed Catholics, we have a responsibility to live the Gospel, to serve God, and to live a moral and sacramental life. • Our patron saints can assist us in this mission.
