Sacrament of Confirmation.

Catholics believe the Sacrament of Confirmation is the supernatural equivalent of the growth process on the natural level. It builds on what was begun in Baptism and what was nourished in Holy Eucharist. It completes the process of initiation into the Christian community, and it matures the soul for the work ahead.

At the Catholic Church of The Ascension, we offer catechism classes on Sunday after mass to prepare candidates who wished to be confirmed in the church

What are the steps of confirmation?

Reading from the Scripture. Scripture pertaining to Confirmation is read, Presentation of the Candidates, Homily, Renewal of Baptismal Promises, Laying on of Hands, Anointing with Chrism, Prayer of the Faithful..

Most Rev. Dr. Alfred Adewale Martins, The Archbishop of The Metropolitan see of Lagos.

Confirmation is the sacrament by which Catholics receive a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through Confirmation, the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation.
In the Catholic Church, the sacrament of Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of Christian initiation, along with Baptism and the Eucharist
Confirmation is so important in the Catholic Church because teenager/adults receive the Holy Spirit and become “soldiers of Christ” as full members of the Church.
