The Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian life” Ccc, 1324. This sacrament takes place within the Mass, the mystery of the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ is re-presented in the unbloody sacrifice of the altar. The Catholic Church professes that in Holy communion the body, blood, soul, and divinity of the glorified and risen Christ is substantially present. We ask that only “properly disposed” Catholics receive Holy Communion, meaning they are in a state of grace, having been reconciled with the Lord through Baptism and/or sacramental reconciliation.

Confirmation completes the grace of Baptism and with it is one of the three sacraments of Christian initiation. It strengthens the faithful to be powerful in their witness to God’s love in both word and deed.
“Like Baptism which it completes, Confirmation is given only once, for it, too, imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual mark, the ‘character,’ which is the sign that Jesus Christ has marked a Christian with the seal of his Spirit by clothing him with power from on high so that he may be his witness” CCC, 1304.
The sacrament of Confirmation is ordinarily administered by a bishop or a priest who has the appropriate delegation, by means of laying on of hands and anointing with chrism, a blessed oil that serves to signify the spread of the “aroma of Christ” (2 Cor. 2:15).
Generally, at Christ the King, Catholics who have received their sacraments according to the usual sequence beginning with baptism as an infant are confirmed in the 8th grade.
