The majority of Confirmation II students are 8th graders in their final year of Confirmation preparation. There may be youth from other grades who delayed their Confirmation year for various reasons. Confirmation is one of the Sacraments of Initiation. While Baptism is the first step of initiation into the life of the Church, Confirmation can be seen as the completion of the Baptismal commitment. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "The reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace" (no. 1285). There are two primary effects from the sacrament of Confirmation: strengthening of one's bond with the Church, and reception of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
