Confirmation

img-confirmation

While Baptism is the gateway into the Catholic faith, the Sacrament of Confirmation confirms our commitment to our faith and renews our baptismal promises before First Holy Communion. We do this with the help of a sponsor. The sponsor is someone whom we choose - a Catholic who guides us into the faith and readies us to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

“In the year when the children turn eight (Year Three), they are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation administered by the Bishop or his delegate.” Archdiocese of Brisbane Sacramental Policy.
