Confirmation (why we’re confirmed)

  • (7)
  • Follow us:

Why do I have to get confirmed if I’m already baptized? How do I choose a sponsor as I prepare for confirmation? Why do I have the option to choose a new name?

These questions and more are answered in this edition of “Sacraments 101,” a web video series geared for those who’d like an introduction or refresher course on these important, tangible Catholic experiences of God.

Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation in the Catholic Church, with baptism and Eucharist. Think of it as a personal Pentecost, when we receive the tools we need for our spiritual journey — the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Do parents have the right to prepare their children for confirmation instead of sending them to Sacramental Prep?

OH no, what happened to the video on Communion and how to receive? I just used it for a sacramental meeting and wanted to send the link to those who didn’t attend!

Hi Karen, Sorry your having trouble finding the video no the Eucharist — try this link. It should take you directly to the page.

Hi Jenny, have you tried right-clicking the link? That should load a drop-down menu that will let you chose a download option. If you’re still having trouble, e-mail me at editor@bustedhalo.com
