Confirmation
is the Sacrament that strengthens us with the Holy Spirit and deepens our commitment to live as faithful witnesses of Christ
The Sacrament of Confirmation completes and strengthens the grace of Baptism. Through Confirmation, the baptized person is more closely united to Christ, strengthened by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and called to bear witness to the Christian faith and participate more fully in the mission of the Church.
Schedule
In TAHANAN, the Sacrament of Confirmation is ordinarily celebrated every two years, once a group of approximately 10 to 15 adequately prepared candidates has been formed, or as pastoral circumstances may require.
