| Confirm, O Lord, your servant with your Holy Spirit |
People who have been baptised may be confirmed provided they are old enough to renew for themselves the promises made for them at their baptism by their parents and godparents. It is usual for people only to be admitted to Holy Communion and receive the sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ once they have made that affirmation of faith and received Confirmation.
Confirmation usually takes place at a service of Holy Communion at which the bishop presides. He will use the opportunity of the sermon to talk to the candidates about the responsibilities of adult Christian life and they will then make their public profession of faith. Any unbaptised candidates are baptised and the bishop prays that the Holy Spirit will come upon those who are to be confirmed.
