Confirmation

 The Sacrament of Confirmation brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace:
  • it roots us more deeply in the divine filiation which makes us cry, "Abba! Father!";
  • it unites us more firmly to Christ;
  • it increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us;
  • it renders our bond with the Church more perfect;
  • it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross:
The gifts of the Spirit include the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear in God's presence.  (CCC 1302)
​
Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation for children is offered through our Children's Religious Education  program which begins in September and runs until May.  For further information contact Lillian Backstrom at ccdstpetersnanaimo@shaw.ca.

People over the age of 14 who are seeking the Sacrament of Confirmation would journey through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults program which begins each September and runs through until Easter. For further information contact Kathy Fadum at 250-754-1694.
