Confirmation is one of the three Sacraments of Christian Initiation, along
with Baptism and Eucharist. Confirmation involves the "sealing" and
strengthening of the Holy Spirit, whose gifts make us more like Christ.
In the Archdiocese of Seattle, those baptized in infancy must be at least 16
years of age by the date of Confirmation to be confirmed. Proximate
preparation for Confirmation begins in the middle-school and early
high-school years through participation in parish youth programs, such as
The Edge and Life Teen. Immediate preparation for Confirmation begins in the
fall and continues through the liturgical year, with the Rite of
Confirmation celebrated the following fall. In addition to Confirmation
classes and Life Teen activities, the preparation process includes retreats
and service opportunities.
