Confirmation
Confirmation is the church ritual that marks the transition between childhood and youth. Confirmation means that God confirms the promise to be with you that he made when you were baptised.
Preparation for confirmation
Confirmation is an offer for everyone in 7th grade. It is completely voluntary whether you want to be confirmed, and the decision is best made together with your family.
To be confirmed, you must first attend confirmation preparation. Here you learn about Christianity and talk to the priest and your friends about life's big questions.
