The Sacrament of Confirmation brings to completion the grace received through Baptism. By this Sacrament the baptized are more perfectly bound to the church and are enriched by the strength of the Holy Spirit. This gift conforms believers more fully to Christ and strengthens them to bear witness to Christ for the building up of his body in faith and love.
At All Saints Parish, the Sacrament of Confirmation is typically celebrated in the Spring of the 8th grade year.
