Confirmation is a Sacrament of the Holy Spirit. Confirmation perfects Baptismal grace as the Holy Spirit comes upon us to root us more deeply in the family of faith, incorporate us more firmly in Christ, strengthen our bond with the Church, associate us more closely with her mission and help us bear witness to the Christian faith in words and deeds. Confirmation gives us added courage and conviction to face the challenges of living our Christian values in a sometimes hostile environment. Confirmation, like Baptism, imprints a spiritual mark or indelible character on a Christian's soul. For this reason a person can receive this Sacrament only once.
