So...confirmation isn't like a graduation?
So you were probably baptized as a baby, you received your first communion as a kid and you probably made your confirmation and then forgot about being active at church. Maybe that isn't you but maybe that story sounds familiar because you know of people who "graduated" after they received the sacrament of confirmation. Well...you don't graduate after confirmation. The work really only just begins. Father Richard and Jamie dive into why there is more to our Catholic life after confirmation. Hit that play button to jump into the conversation!
