The Sacrament of Confirmation:
The Sacrament of Confirmation 2010 will be celebrated on Sunday 9th May 2010. If you are in Year 8 or above in September 2009 and want to be Confirmed please contact Father David.
About the Sacrament of Confirmation:
From the catechism of the Roman Catholic Church 1285:
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. For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, (the baptized) are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed."
Catechism Part 2 Section 2 Chapter 1 Article 2
