​
On the day of Pentecost
when the seven weeks of Easter
had come to an end,
Christ's Passover is fulfilled
in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, manifested, given,and communicated 
as a divine person: 
of his fullness, ​Christ, the Lord,
pours out the Spirit in abundance.

It is evident from its celebration that the effect of the Sacrament of Confirmation is the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost.

The Diocesan Adult Confirmation Initiative is for Catholics 18 years and older who have been Baptized but have not received the Sacrament of Confirmation.  It is a process which assumes that an adult is a registered and active member of St. Francis parish who knows and practices his faith
​​but did not receive his Confirmation for whatever reason at the usual age.
