Confirmation
Receiving the Holy Spirit
​
Confirmation as a word signifies the confirming of what we have already received in baptism; namely the coming of the Holy Spirit upon us. During the service, the presiding Bishop says:
‘Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.’
​
Preparing for Confirmation
