In the Catholic Church, anyone that has been baptized properly can and should be confirmed.

Confirmation is a Sacrament in the Catholic Church in which the one who is confirmed (confirmandi) receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit through the imposition of hand and anointing with oils by the bishop. It’s considered a sacrament of initiation which means that it brings you deeper into communion with the Church.

The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit received through Confirmation are

• Wisdom

• Understanding

• Knowledge

• Fortitude or Courage

• Counsel

• Piety or Love

• Fear of the Lord
