Confirmation brings the grace first received in Baptism to perfection. The Holy Spirit roots us more deeply in the Divine Life as the sons and daughters of God. It also makes us more like Jesus Himself and strengthens our bond with the Church in order for the baptized to carry out the mission of Jesus here and now, bearing witness to the Christian faith by what we say and do. We are strengthened to never be ashamed of the Cross of Jesus Christ. In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the Bishop, or his delegate, uses oil known as Sacred Chrism and traces the sign of the Cross on the forehead of the candidate as he says, "Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit." We continue this tradition, inviting young people of our church to celebrate this sacrament with the Bishop of the Diocese of Kamloops, Bishop Joseph Nguyen.
