Receiving the Sacraments

Have you been confirmed?

Some of us may have been baptized Catholic as a baby or child and then received the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Eucharist, but for a variety of reasons, never received the Sacrament of Confirmation at the time of our peers. 

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states its importance:

1285 Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed."

The Easter season is a wonderful time to receive all the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit and to complete our initiation into the Catholic Church.  If you are an adult wishing to receive Confirmation, contact Diane Dover, 467-2106 or sjsadultedrcia@gmail.com
