Confirmation

“Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God,

they sent them Peter and John, who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive

the holy Spirit, for it had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized

in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.”

-Acts 8:14-17

The Sacrament of Confirmation brings an increase and deepening of the grace

we receive at Baptism. Confirmation unites us more firmly to Christ, increases the gifts of the

Holy Spirit within us, makes our bond with the Church more perfect, and gives us special strength

to spread and defend the faith.

When do children receive Confirmation at St. John Paul II Scioto Catholic Parish?

The Sacrament of Confirmation is usually celebrated during the eighth grade.
