Sacrament of Confirmation

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 #1285)
 
Students in seventh grade at St. Viator School, in the Religious Education and RCIA classes prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation.  Once a year a bishop comes to the parish to celebrate this sacrament.
