Confirmation is the perfection of baptism, as Jesus Christ promise us so. In this sacrament, we lay on our hands(which signifies the descent of the Holy Spirit, and the anointing of the confirmand with chrism. This seal is a consecration, representing the safeguarding by the Holy Spirit of the graces conferred on the Christian at Baptism. Confirmation increases and deepens all of the graces granted at Baptism.  All those who have been baptized are eligible to be confirmed, after reaching fourteen years of age. They should learn catechism, and join Sunday School organized by local parish church, to get one prepared for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
