Confirmation

Step 1: Making a Commitment

PART 1: WATCH THIS VIDEO WITH A PARENT (MAYBE SPONSOR, TOO)!
BustedHalo.com’s fantastic introduction to the Sacraments series:

  • Why do I have to get confirmed if I’m already baptized?
  • How do I choose a sponsor as I prepare for confirmation?
  • Why do I have the option to choose a new name?

PART 2: COMMITMENT FORM                                                                                                             
 As a baptized Catholic, I am preparing for reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation, by which I will be more perfectly bound to the Catholic Church and enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the Faith as a witness of Christ.
As a candidate for Confirmation, I promise the following:

  •  I will attend Mass every Sunday and on all holy days of obligation.
  •  I will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before my Confirmation.
  •  I will accept more responsibility in my family, parish, and community by putting my talents and gifts at the service of others.
  • I will commit to daily prayer, praying especially for growth in faith, hope, and love.

As I make these promises, I ask God to give me the grace to be open to his plans for my lifeā€”plans he  reveals to me in prayer, in my talents and aspirations, and in the encouragement of those who know  and love me. I place myself in the loving embrace of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in asking for help  in fulfilling this commitment.
