Who can be confirmed as an adult?

If you are a Baptized Catholic, 18 or older, out of high school and you have also received First Communion and First Reconcilation, but for whatever reason, you have not been confirmed, then this may be for you.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.

For the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit.

The purpose of adult confirmation is to invite the adult to a moment of conversion, reconciliation, and strengthening of their relationship with Jesus and the Church and to invite the adults to follow in His Way as disciples.
