Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist form a unity as the Sacraments of Initiation. For most, Confirmation is the final Sacrament of Christian Initiation. In Baptism we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, and through Confirmation we are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands, and the anointing with Chrism. Confirmation is the sacrament that strengthens and continues Baptism.

In the Rite of Confirmation, the Bishop (or a Priest who represents the Bishop) extends his hands over you and asks the Holy Spirit to come to you with seven special graces, or gifts: wisdom, understanding, right judgement, courage, knowledge, reverence, and wonder & awe.
