The sacrament of Confirmation in the adolescent years can be understood best as the completion of Baptism and a special encounter with God who strengthens one’s baptismal faith in order to be a more active witness for Christ. Rather than a graduation from one’s Catholic faith. Confirmation is an empowerment by God to more actively live one’s faith which is continuously nourished primarily in the weekly Sunday Eucharist.
