What do you need to do for a Catholic confirmation?

Answer 1

Attend Catechesis classes.

.

Catholic AnswerThe only thing necessary for confirmation is that the individual be baptized. In the Latin rite, when confirmation is separated from Baptism, the individual usually needs to attend classes, but this is not strictly necessary.

Answer 2

Step 1 Study the faith regularly, read the Holy Bible and learn about the lives of the saints. These things will help enhance and support what you are learning in the formal religious education classes. Step 2 Become aware that Confirmation is not the end of their religious experience, but the beginning of their lifetime commitment to God and the church. Step 3 Love God fully and must know about Him through continuing in prayer and Bible study. Step 4 Prepare further by learning about the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. These are the gifts that the Holy Spirit brings at the time of Confirmation. Each one gives the believer a different attribute that will help you along your spiritual journey. Step 5 Prepare yourself for the Confirmation interview. The confirmation interview is a time for the Priest to question the one being confirmed about their faith.

Answer 3

The answer is very complex, and can probably be best explained by a Priest of the Catholic Church. That is why it takes a year of preparation in a class called RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) for adults to be received into the Catholic Church.

There are many Catholic teachings which can be easily misunderstood in a Q&A format such as this.

There are many historical facts about the Catholic Church that can be distorted in an on line format.

To get the real answer to your question, find a Catholic parish in your area, call the number for the Rectory in the phone book and tell whomever answers the phone that you would like to talk to a priest about the requirements for membership in the the Catholic Church. If you don't get an answer that sounds reasonable and feasible, ...call another parish! Priests are human after all, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.....keep searching. The Truth is out there for you.

If you can't find your answers in a local parish, check the forums online

Roman Catholic AnswerBottom line? The basic requirement for membership in the Catholic Church is that you believe in Our Blessed Savior and are willing to follow Him. As outlined above, you need to speak to a priest and go through RCIA which is a class which runs from late summer to Easter each year and explains the Catholic faith. Then you are baptized (if you haven't already been), confirmed, and receive your First Holy Communion. After that, all that is required is regular prayer and frequenting of the Sacraments. You should attend Mass AT LEAST every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation, and go to confession regularly.

Answer 4

Catholic AnswerIn the Western Church, you usually attend classes for a year or more, and then you receive confirmation when the Bishop makes his annual visit. If you are an adult convert, you will be confirmed at the Easter Vigil after completing a year of RCIA instruction. If you are a Catholic and have not already been confirmed, you need to speak to your priest and alert him to your situation, he will tell you what to do next.

Answer 5

You must first be Baptized, receive the Sacraments of Holy Communion & Confession, & take a Catechesis class for about a year leading up to your Confirmation.

Answer 6

You must already be Baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
