Confirmation - Saint Raymond Church
The Sacrament of Confirmation
Welcome to the Confirmation page of New Community Rising Church. We are delighted to have you here. As a community rooted in faith and belief, we understand the importance of the sacrament of Confirmation in strengthening and deepening one's commitment to the Christian faith.
What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is a sacred sacrament, marked by the anointing with holy chrism, which brings one into full initiation and membership within the Catholic Church. It is a moment of spiritual growth and a personal affirmation of one's faith. Through Confirmation, individuals receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, empowering them to live as active and engaged disciples of Christ.
