Confirmation, along with Baptism and Holy Eucharist, is a one of the three Sacraments of Initiation. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace, for by the Sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence, they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed." (CCC 1285)
