Confirmation is the sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation, a closer bond with the Catholic Church. Confirmation is a Sacrament in the Catholic Church in which the one who is confirmed receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit through the imposition of hand and anointing with oils by the bishop. It’s considered a sacrament of initiation which means that it brings you deeper into communion with the Church. Like Baptism, Confirmation is given only once, for it too imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual mark, which is the sign that Jesus Christ has marked a Christian with the seal of his Spirit by clothing him/her with power from on high so that they may be his witness.” (CCC1304)

In Hectorville Parish, the Confirmation ceremony occurs between May and June each year.
