CONFIRMATION

“The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: 

a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, 

A spirit of counsel and of strength, 

a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord”

     Isaiah 11:2

Youth Confirmation

...the effect of the sacrament of Confirmation is the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit 

as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost.
