Confirmation is the completion of the process of initiation into the family of Christ and is preceded by Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. It is one of the seven Sacraments of Catholicism.

Performed by the Bishop, the confirmation rituals involve laying on of hands as well as anointing with holy oils. In addition, the person chooses a new name which is generally the name of a saint and is added to the Christian name after being confirmed by the Bishop.

Please download all THREE documents so that you will be well-informed about the choice of your Sponsor, and so that the Sponsor will be well-informed of his or her responsibility and the need to receive a reference from his or her Parish Priest well in advance of the celebration of the Confirmation Mass.
