Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments.
Confirmation is one of three sacraments of initiation, namely Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. A person who has received all three of these sacraments is considered a fully initiated Catholic.
The priest or bishop lays their hands upon the person receiving Confirmation, the priest or bishop says, “Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit”, the person says, “Amen”, and then they are anointed with holy oil (just like King David in the Old Testament).
Confirmation:
A fully initiated Catholic can be:
– At mass
– To the sick
– And many other ministries.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 1285.
