"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 of the Catholic Church

Children are prepared for this sacrament by attending Catholic School or our parish's Faith Formation Program for 2 years (beginning in the 7th Grade). They are also supported by sponsors who must meet certain criteria and be a practicing Catholic.  This sacrament is conferred by a bishop on our children after completing program; typically in when they are in 8th Grade.
