Holy Communion augments our union with Christ. The principal fruit of receiving the Eucharist in Holy Communion is an intimate union with Christ Jesus. Indeed, the Lord said: “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.”  Life in Christ has its foundation in the Eucharistic banquet: “As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.”
                                              ~from the Catechism of the Catholic Church

What is Confirmation?

Confirmation brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace:

•  it roots us more deeply in the divine filiation which makes us cry, “Abba! Father!”
  
• it unites us more firmly to Christ
  
• it increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us
  
• it renders our bond with the Church more perfect
  
• it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross.
