Confirmation is the final Sacrament of Initiation. Through Confirmation, a person is sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit. In this seal, Christ is giving them power from on high to be his witnesses, to spread the Gospel message. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1304).
Confirmation is celebrated annually for students in the eighth grade. Together as a Parish Family, students who belong to Corpus Christi, St. John Neumann, and St. John the Baptist parishes gather downtown at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral to be ingited with the fire of the Holy Spirit!

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
