The information presented is designed to assist those that are confirmed in the Catholic faith as well as those who will be confirmed in the Catholic faith. Parents and parishes could use this booklet as a supplement to your faith formation class which may help those being confirmed to answer for themselves the question "What does it mean to be confirmed in the Catholic Church?"
