Syracuse, NY Diocese – Confirmation
A good video that both explains some of the meaning behind the sacrament of Confirmation, but also gives plenty of examples of teens coming forward to be anointed by the Bishop. In our case, Bishop Hennessey will ask for only a name and offer peace to you – there will be no handshake or conversation before or after the anointing.
Libby & Kai at Catholic Central will provide some humor and information about the day of Confirmation and some of the meaning behind the sacrament.
