“The reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace… by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit” – Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1285)
“Candidates for Confirmation, as for Baptism, fittingly seek the spiritual help of a sponsor.” Sponsors should be in good standing with the Catholic Church, frequent the Sacraments regularly, and be prepared to guide the confirmandi on their journey with Christ (CCC 1311).
The sacrament of confirmation is a celebration of the candidates sacramental maturity, and invitation to the beginning of fully realized participation in holy mass and the Catholic faith. If you or your child are looking to receive confirmation you can reach out to the parish office here: (732) 842-3963.
