“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 #1285).
Classes will be held on Sundays from 12:30-3:30pm in the Auditorium, with Confirmation at the end of May. 7th graders (as well as those 8th graders who did not receive the sacrament last year) who have been Baptized and received First Sacraments are able take this next step in their spiritual journey.
