Confirmation recognizes the power of the Spirit in the life of a Christian, seeking to help us enter more fully into a living unity with the Spirit. We are reminded that the Spirit works in different ways at different times, and that all our human activities continually depend upon the activity of the Spirit in our lives. We celebrate Confirmation with the RCIA participants at Easter time. The eighth graders begin their studies in the Fall, and we celebrate Confirmation with them in the Spring.
