Writing A Letter For Service Hours Why Is The Confirmation Process So Excessive?

Why is the Confirmation process so excessive? - writing a letter for service hours

I am confirmed, a young Catholic, and I wondered why the confirmation process so great.

In my church, we must ...
Thu 50 hours service
Write a letter to the bishop to show how much they are willing to confirm
"Test" our love for God (how?)
Visit penance extremely long time
Go to a shelter in the night
Write a paper of 2 pages about our service experience


Should not the fact that I am a Catholic who is confirmed to satisfy I want?
