The Sacrament of Confirmation

The Sacrament of Confirmation confers a character.  by it the baptized continue their path of Christian initiation.  They are enriched with the gift of the Holy Spirit and are more closely linked to the Church.  They are made strong and more firmly obliged by word and deed to witness to Christ and to spread and defend the faith.
