At confirmation, through the imposition of hands and anointing, an increased portion of the gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, knowledge, right judgment, understanding, courage, piety, and fear of the Lord is given to each recipient. The Holy Spirit gives recipients the increased ability to be a witness for Christ in every situation.

The university was founded on 29 March 2008 by the Society of Saint Francis de Sales (SDB). The motto of the SDB is, “Da mihi Animas cætera tolle, "Give me souls, take away the rest."
The song that is sung was written by Kirk and Deby Dearman. It was published in, “Expressions of Praise Music,” in 1993 by Maranatha! Music.
The lyrics to the song are as follows:
Lord, Make us instruments of Your peace,
Walls of pride and prejudice shall cease
When we are Your instruments of peace.
Where there is hatred, we will show His love
Where there is injury, we will never judge
Where there is striving, we will speak His peace
To the millions crying for release,
We will be His instruments of peace
Lord, Make us instruments of Your peace,
Where there is hatred, let Your love increase
Lord, make us instruments of Your peace,
Walls of pride and prejudice shall cease
When we are Your instruments of peace.
Where there is blindness, we will pray for sight
where there is darkness, we will shine His light
Where there is sadness, we will bear their grief
To the millions crying for relief,
We will be His instruments of peace.”
Lord, Make us instruments of Your peace,
Where there is hatred, let Your love increase
Lord, make us instruments of Your peace,
Walls of pride and prejudice shall cease
When we are your instruments of peace.
Na confirmação, por meio da imposição das mãos e da unção, uma porção aumentada dos dons do Espírito Santo: sabedoria, conhecimento, julgamento correto, compreensão, coragem, piedade e temor do Senhor é dada a cada recipiente. O Espírito Santo dá aos destinatários a capacidade aumentada de serem testemunhas de Cristo em todas as situações.

A letra da música é a seguinte:
Senhor, faz-nos instrumentos da tua paz,
Paredes de orgulho e preconceito cessarão
Quando somos Seus instrumentos de paz.
Onde houver ódio, mostraremos Seu amor
Onde houver lesão, nunca iremos julgar
Onde houver esforço, falaremos Sua paz
Para os milhões que clamam por libertação,
