Confirmation is one of the 3 Sacraments of Initiation in the Catholic Church... the other two are Baptism and Holy Eucharist. All three Sacraments create the foundation of every Christian life. 

We believe that the faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by Confirmation, and nourished with the Eucharist (Holy Communion). Like the Apostles who received 7 graces, or gifts, of the Holy Spirit after Christ's Ascension into Heaven, those who are Confirmed also receive these same graces: 
Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, Fear (Awe) of the Lord.
