"Now, when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the holy Spirit, for it had not yet falled upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the holy Spirit." ---Acts 8:14-17

Confirmation is the final Sacrament of Initiation. It is the concious decision to be a disciple of Christ. Through Confirmation, we accept God's plan for us and choose to be the best version of ourselves as we receive the gifts of the holy Spirit. These gifts include wisdom, courage, reverence, counsel, knowledge, and fear of the Lord, all of these gifts helping to make us stronger in our faith and our life for Christ. 

The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated annually for students in the eighth grade. Together as a Pastoral Area, 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. Please pray for those preparing for this Sacrament, that they may be open to hearing God's voice and walking in the way of Christ.
