You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all of Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is the Sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
"Confirmation brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace:
- it roots us more deeply in the divine filiation
- it unites us more firmly to Christ
- it increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us
- it renders our bond with the Church more perfect
- it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith"
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1303
