Confirmation

In the Catholic Church, Confirmation is a sacrament of initiation that strengthens a baptized person's connection to Christ and the Church, and gives them the gift of the Holy Spirit: 

During Confirmation, a bishop or priest lays their hands on the person being confirmed and prays that the Holy Spirit fills them with spiritual gifts. The sacramental minister then makes a cross on the person's forehead with holy oil. It's also common for the person to take on a new name, usually that of a saint.  In the Diocese of Salt Lake, the bishop will come to the church and perform the sacrament of Confirmation sometime in the spring. The date will vary from year to year.

To be eligible for Confirmation, candidates must typically attend Sunday Mass and all Confirmation classes. 

Confirmation is the third sacrament of initiation in the Catholic Church, along with baptism and Eucharist. It's a way for baptized people to continue their Christian initiation and receive the Holy Spirit. 

Confirmation strengthens a person's connection to Christ and the Church, and gives them the gift of the Holy Spirit. It also deepens a person's baptismal life and calls them to be a missionary witness of Christ.
