How old were you when you were confirmed?

[7_Sorrows]

I was 15 and kind of upset because I was being confirmed in the Episcopal church
and I even knew at that age that I wanted to be Catholic.

 

[midori]

Junior in high school. So— 14? 15? Something like that.

Yes.

 

[Divine3]

I was 12 or 13. I understood that to be a witness of my faith meant to be a martyr. And that you received gifts from the Holy Spirit. Now I believe we should receive confirmation at baptism like the Eastern Church does. I think Latin Church is way off for decades now regarding this sacrament.

 

[Kima]

The year I turned 15. I knew the basics of it, but nothing more.

 

[Lormar]

I was 11. In those days, they confirmed you when you were in the 6th grade. Yes, I understood as well as an 11 year old can what the sacrament was all about.

 

[Shasta-Rose]

Mine was in 2017, too. I was 70. Late, but I am so blessed.

[giuseppe96]

I was 19 in 2015, and I decided to on my own so I was keen to learn what the Sacrament was all about.

 

[giuseppe96]

Well I attended public school and received little catechesis until I was about 15.
