CONFIRMATION
THE SACRAMENT OF
This sacrament is an ancient tradition originating from the "laying on of hands" found in the Acts of the Apostles. The Sacrament of Confirmation enables the faithful to be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, strengthening them in their Christian life. The candidate also takes on the name of a Saint, in a similar way to a newly ordained Pope. This Saint then becomes a model or inspiration in faith for the candidate.
