Confirmation

Sacrament of Confirmation

In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is "sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit" and strengthened for service to the Body of Christ. It serves to "confirm" a baptized person in their faith. Confirmation can occur as early as age 7 for children who were baptized as infants but is commonly received around age 13 by a bishop. (For adults who have converted to the Catholic faith, it is performed immediately after baptism.)
