Becoming Catholic Confirmation

Confirmation is one of the sacraments that has received particular renewal following the Second Vatican Council. It is now seen, along with Baptism and Eucharist, as part of the process of initiation into the Catholic Church. Reception of the sacrament varies from diocese to diocese: some offer the sacrament together with First Eucharist, others separately at the end of primary school. Kathy Horan explains the changes that have taken place and points out that, whatever the diocesan practice, Confirmation is seen by all as the second formal step of initiation.
