    Becoming Part of the Catholic Church: Baptism, and Confirmation


    There are seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church which are essential for
    salvation and living the life that Christ intended us to live. Of these seven, there are
    three important Sacraments that initiate an individual and welcome him or her into the
    family of Christ Baptism, Communion, and Confirmation. Baptism is the foundation of
    the Sacrament of initiation and frees one from original sin. Confirmation is the second
    Sacrament of initiation and is a ritual that signifies strengthening of ones faith.
    Communion is the third and in this Catholics partake the Body and Blood of Christ to be
    a part of his sacrifice. These three Sacraments serve to confirm, strengthen, and
    increase ones faith and closeness with the community of Christ.

    Baptism
    Derived from the Greek word, bapto or baptizo,
    baptism means to wash or immerse. The ritual of
    Baptism symbolizes the washing away of sins and
    cleansing the soul by immersing it in water. Baptism is
    an important Sacrament and being baptized is an
    important part of being initiated into the family of the
    Catholic Church. Water baptism is an act of obedience
    and represents forgiveness and unity with Christ and
    the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    Confirmation
    Confirmation is the completion of the process of
    initiation into the family of Christ and is preceded by
    Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. It is one of the 7
    Sacraments of Catholicism. Confirmation involves
    being responsible for ones faith and actions and is a
    coming-of-age ceremony. Performed by the Bishop,
    the confirmation rituals involve laying on of hands as
    well as anointing with holy oils. In addition, the person
    chooses a new name which is generally the name of a
    saint and is added to the Christian name after being
    confirmed by the Bishop.
