"Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For 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
Youth in 8th grade who have consistently attended formation sessions (in public, private, or homeschool) will be confirmed during their 8th grade year. Several retreats are presented including one for parents, one for sponsors, and several for youth. Youth are required to attend the retreats, rites, interview, rehearsal, and of course the actual Confirmation.
