Confirmation
"Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit"
(Words of the Bishop when anointing the candidate with chrism)
What is Confirmation?
In the Sacrament of Confirmation we pray that the Holy Spirit would strengthen us to live more faithfully as followers of Jesus.
Confirmation usually takes place when a Catholic is a teenager, but can be celebrated at any time in adult life. The Bishop anoints those being confirmed with Chrism, a holy oil that symbolises being strengthened to be witnesses to Jesus in our everyday lives. The person being confirmed chooses a saint as their patron and role model. Their lives become enriched by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the Christian initiation which began at Baptism is complete.
If you would like more information about Confirmation, please contact the parish office.
Confirmation Registration 2026 is Open
We encourage all young people who wish to be confirmed next year to visit the Liverpool Called website with their parents/guardians. The details you provide the online form will be shared with the Dean of the area of which you have applied, your local parish, and the Diocesan administration team. It may be shared with other parties associated with Diocesan sacramental preparation and relevant and appropriate Diocesan bodies and authorities.
Your local parish will be in touch after registration period ends on the 13 February (you will not be contacted beforehand) with details about meetings in your local area. You will likely be contacted after Easter. Please do not worry if you are not contacted immediately. If you have any queries, please contact your own parish priest.
The information you provide will be held for the sacramental year (which ends on the day new application forms go online for the succeeding sacramental preparation year) and your
contact information may be used to contact you by email, text, letter or phone.
For more information on how your data may be used and our retention policy please see https://www.liverpoolcatholic.org.uk/privacy
