What is Confirmation?
"Then Peter and John laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit."
Acts 8:14-17
The Sacrament of Confirmation is, with Baptism and Eucharist, one of the three sacraments of Initiation: Confirmation completes the grace of Baptism. Through the anoiting with the sacred chrism the baptized person is "enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit," and more than ever "obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed" (CCC 1285)
