What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is a Sacrament of Initiation; the others are Baptism and Eucharist. In this sacrament we are anointed with oil in a “laying on of hands,” and imprinted with a spiritual seal. The sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace, and therefore cannot be separated from Baptism.
As a Sacrament of Initiation, Confirmation binds us more completely to the church, enriching us with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. While Baptism brings new life, Confirmation strengthens the initial commitment made and confers and seals the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This enables us to better serve God, the Christian community and all people.
At Confirmation, the gifts of the Holy Spirit conferred at Baptism are strengthened and sealed. These gifts are: wisdom, understanding, knowledge, right judgment, courage, reverence, and wonder and awe in God’s presence.
8th Grade Confirmation
At Divine Word we prepare our 8th grade students for Confirmation through the Alpha Youth series, a video- based small group program that teaches teens what it looks like to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as well as well as help them to find answers to their many questions about our faith. At the end of this series we take a day for the teens to participate in a retreat on the Holy Spirit, which ignites our students as we finish up the last few weeks of specific Confirmation preparations leading to their Confirmation day.
