A Catholic Confirmation

People born into Catholic families are usually baptised as babies. This is when the family and friends promise to bring up the baby as a Roman Catholic Christian.

When the person is old enough to make their own decisions they can be confirmed. A person being confirmed will say that they believe in God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and ask for strength and courage to live as Jesus would want them to and to tell other people about their faith.

Before a person gets confirmed they will be asked to a confirmation preparation, where they will learn about Christianity and the meaning of the promised they will make.
