"Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the 'sacraments of Christian initiation' "(CCC 1285). Confirmation completes baptismal grace. Through the sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit, including increasing the gifts of the Holy Spirit within us. Confirmation is also strengthens us to share the love of Christ with others.
Those raised in the Catholic faith in this Archdiocese are confirmed during 10th and 11th grade. If you would like to inquire about your teenager being confirmed and find out more information, please contact Jennifer Kelly at dbq005ff@dbqarch.org.
