Confirmation Records
Confirmation is a church practice that falls into the category of what the Anglican Catechism calls “rites and institutions commonly called sacraments. Confirmation arose out of the early church’s reflection on Scripture in connection to how one became a Christian. It was first used to describe what happened when a bishop would lay hands upon, pray for, and anoint the forehead of the newly baptized with oil, signifying the gift of the Holy Spirit. The newly baptized/confirmed would then proceed to receive their first Eucharist. Confirmation became separable from Baptism. For Anglican churches, the normal course would be that you were baptized as an infant, and then as a teenager undergo a lengthy instruction (catechesis), which prepared you for Confirmation. Confirmation was also unique in that, while a priest could baptize, Confirmation was usually reserved for the bishop. Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized. As a general rule, anyone who is over 10 years old and can answer for themselves could be ready for confirmation. These records in Ireland generally commence in the 1800’s.
