CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is the sign that a person has reached maturity as far as the principles of the Church are concerned. Baptism was his birth as a child of God and Confirmation marks his becoming an adult. At a child’s baptism the Godparents undertake to bring that child to the Bishop to be confirmed when he knows the words of the Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Ten Commandments, and is also able to answer the questions in the Catechism. The Catechism explains the significance of Baptism and Confirmation.
