Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation

Every baptized person, not yet confirmed, is encouraged to receive the sacrament of confirmation as it completes the Christian initiation alongside baptism and Eucharist. While Latin custom traditionally associates confirmation with the age of discretion, children in danger of death can receive it even before reaching that age. The sacrament aims to lead individuals towards a more intimate union with Christ, preparing them for apostolic responsibilities and a greater familiarity with the Holy Spirit and the church.
