Prima,

It's confirmation (to confirm one's faith in the religious principles
of the church) , once a child reaches the age of reason. It's too
bad that the services at the church you spoke of don't do
enough to make it relevant to your age group. I fell asleep at
my confirmation. It was held during the evening hours & had to
be awakened for the ceremony, after a long, long sermon.
My family never let me forget it either.
