Your Baptismal promises.
The parents of the child.
Yes, in the Confirmation Sacrament, you renew your baptismal promises made for you as a baby. You invite the Holy Spirit to strengthen your spiritual life. In addition, the Bishop lays his hands on your head to confirm (witness) the promises you've made as you enter young adulthood.
The Paschal Mystery is that Jesus was crucified and died and is risen and ascended into Heaven. That is the second Baptismal promise.
It is used for Baptism & for reminding us of our Baptismal promises.

Baptismal promises renewal.
The renewal of your baptismal promises at confirmation is very important as this is what you need to live a Christian life.
Confirmation is when you renew your baptismal promises, and agree that you are a catholic and you are officially cahtolic. The Confirmation is when you receive the holy spirit.
At Baptism, the child's parents & godparents make the vows. At Confirmation, the young person makes the vows for him/herself..Catholic ChurchIn the Catholic Church, Confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist, all of which are given at the same time, shortly after birth, except in the Latin Rite, in which they are separated. Thus the baptismal promises are an integral part of all three sacraments, but the sacrament of confirmation is just the strengthening of the Holy Spirit to live out those promises. In all but the Latin Rite, the confirmand is a newborn and much too young to "renew" the vows for himself. So the Baptismal promises are integral to all three, but the specific action of Confirmation is the strengthening by the Holy Spirit to live out those promises.
