Music is an integral part of the Confirmation liturgy, and should assist the community in expressing and strengthening its faith. The music should reflect the assembly as well as the joyous spirit of the occasion.
The music chosen for the Confirmation celebration should be prepared well in advance through Sunday parish liturgies, catechetical classes, and other pre-Confirmation parish gatherings. This way no more than a simple refrain or new acclamation would need be taught immediately before the liturgy.
This section includes a complete description of the order of the Liturgy including the Gathering Rite, the Liturgy of the Word, the Rite of Confirmation, the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the Communion Rite and the Concluding Rite.
