Confirmation is the sacrament of Christian Initiation that completes the grace given at Baptism. Confirmation perfects the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the baptized.
Confirmation preparation program is offered each year, beginning in September. The teen program is open to Catholics who have received their First Communion. The program meets weekly, culminating with the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation in the spring, shortly after Easter. A Confirmation Retreat (may be a one day or overnight event) is a required part of preparation for the sacrament.
"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. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed." Catechism of the Catholic Church #1285
