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.

The 2025-2026 OLEM Confirmation course for teenagers will start in October, with a first session with parents. Please fill the following online form to sign your children up. https://forms.office.com/e/gf7LnYakYJ
