“Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to witness Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized person is ‘sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit’ and is strengthened for service to the Body of Christ.” (https://www.usccb.org/)Confirmation is strengthening one's relationship with God and receiving an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Adults that are baptized but wishing to be confirmed or become Catholic can learn more about the Rite of Christian Initiation process HERE.
