14. What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is a public rite of the Church preceded by a period of instruction in which baptized Christians learn about the confession, life, and mission of the Christian Church.
Note: Prior to admission to the Lord's Supper, it is necessary to be instructed in the Christian faith (1 Corinthians 11:28). The Rite of Confirmation provides an opportunity for the individual Christian, relying on God's promise given in Holy Baptism, to make a personal public confession of the faith and a lifelong pledge of fidelity to Christ.
