You have to take classes. Depending on how old you are you might have to take classes for adults.
Then on the day of your confirmation, the Bishop comes and anoints with the holy Spirit with the oil.
Read and understand the covenant you are entering into. Understand it is with the Lord and He expects you to hold to it. Read the word of God and pray as oft as you can. Study the Catachism sections they expect you to study and wherever the sheet gives a Bible reference look it up and anything you do not understand discuss with your minister. Then most importantly ask the Lord to fill you with His Holy Spirit, thanking Him for what Jesus did in your behalf.
In the sacrament of Confirmation you are saying that you want to be Catholic, and the Holy Spirit comes to you. Catholics celebrate confirmation in eighth grade. the Confirmation class gets confirmed together. the Bishop comes to the Church and all the children being confirmed wear either a white dress or a suit, depending on their gender. At the beginning, certain children will come up and read readings from The Bible, then the Bishop will ask the confirmation class questions about their religion, (Catholicism). The children will repeat their baptismal rites, saying that they believe in them. Near the end of the ceremony the children will line up like they are going to receive the Eucharist and the bishop will anoint their foreheads with an oil called Chrism. When he anoints their forehead he says I confirm you, *insert name here*. You will say the name you are being confirmed under. You would say your first name, the name of the saint you chose as your confirmation name, and your last name. throughout the entire process you have a sponsor who is supposed to help you.
By taking catechesis classes for their Confirmation.
Confirmation is a "Coming-of-Age" Sacrament for young people between the ages of 12 - 15 years.
When a young person is Confirmed, he/she receives the 7 Gifts Of the Holy Spirit.
Attend confimation classes.
Because the priest or the bishop thinks that you are, is when you are ready to celebrate your Confirmation.
At Confirmation, we celebrate the young person receiving the Holy Spirit. This is a very sacred time for the young person, as he/she becomes an adult member in the Church.
Because Confirmation leads us to the Eucharist and full initiation into the Church.
.Roman Catholic AnswerYou can, but the usual way is to celebrate Confirmation in the middle of Mass.
Most Christian denominations have Confirmation. However, in Orthodox Christianity, a child is Confirmed right after Baptism, & in some Protestant Churches, it is not recognized as a Sacrament.
say something like... 'join me/us to celebrate three very special evernt... a graduation, birthday and confirmation! Hope to see you there' haha, something like that would work :) ~ha
It depends on when your diocese has chosen to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation. In the United States, Confirmation can be celebrated anywhere between the age of reason (7 yrs) and age 16. So, if your diocese celebrates Confirmation in the second or third grade, then it will come before First Communion. But, if your diocese celebrates Confirmation in the eighth grade, then it would come after First Communion.
Most celebrate Christmas, Easter, Sacraments, such as Baptism, Communion, & Confirmation. However, a somewhat smaller group still celebrate the God given Sabbath and His High Holy Days reflecting His Plan of Salvation.
We celebrate the Holy Communion, which every child has to do at age 9-10. Next, we do the Holy confirmation which you do at age 16. After that, you are allowed to get married.
There is no special food eaten at Confirmation, which is celebrated (now) when a child is in their mid-teens. The wafer and communion is given during the Communion part of the Sacrament of Confirmation, but that is not "food". After the service, some families celebrate in a variety of ways. Some have cake and ice cream; others have lunch then cake; many others go eat in a restaurant so it will be more pleasurable for everyone.
Roman Catholic AnswerWithin the Roman Catholic Church, the age for confirmation varies widely depending upon two things. The first thing would be your Rite. The Latin Rite usually celebrates Confirmation between the ages of 12 go 16, although it may be younger, the second thing that it is dependent upon is your Bishop, he is the one who sets the age for confirmation. In the Eastern Rites, it varies, some administer Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion to infants a week old. In all cases of adults, the three are usually administered together.
Stand up before the Bishop. Repeat your Baptismal vows. Let the Bishop touch your forehead & say the words "Receive the Seal of the Holy Spirit."
