What is the next thing after baptism?

What to do when you get Baptised?

What happens when you are baptized and confirmed?

How is confirmation done?

Here’s what happens at the actual ritual of confirmation: You stand or kneel before the bishop. The bishop anoints you by using oil of Chrism (a consecrated oil) to make the sign of the cross on your forehead while saying your confirmation name and “Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.” You respond, “Amen.”

Can you be confirmed without being Baptised?

If you were not baptized, there is nothing for you to confirm.

This process includes baptism, first communion, and confirmation into a single process.
