Confirmation
 

What is Confirmation?  

Confirmation is a Sacrament of Christian Initiation. Through Conformation our baptismal grace is perfected, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, our faith is strengthened. Conformation strengthens our bond with the Church and helps us bear witness to our faith in our words and actions.

The anointing of the forehead with chrism, a perfumed oil, "marks" the confirmed forever with the spiritual seal of the Holy Spirit; that is, the anointed is recognized as belonging to Christ and his Church. The spiritual and indelible mark, like that of Baptism, means that the sacrament can be conferred only once.
