Adult Confirmation

We know that life in general has its twists and turns, and so it goes as well for our Sacramental lives. If you are an adult (14+) and have received the Sacraments of Baptism and First Holy Communion but have not received the Sacrament of Confirmation, we would love to help you prepare to do so. Our spiritual paths aren’t always as straight as we might like them to be, but they are always special and unique only to us. For whatever reason, sometimes we drift in and out of parish life. I know I did. I was baptized and received my First Holy Communion “at the right times”, but the older I became the more life became challenging for me. For a number of reasons, I felt abandoned by God and rejected my faith. I was so lost.

Praise be to Jesus that God NEVER loses us! We are never, ever out of His sight, and He wants nothing more than for us to experience His grace through the celebrations of the Sacraments of the church. At the age of 22, I felt an enormous tug on my heart to draw closer to God. I didn’t know why exactly, but I knew for sure that I missed God and the church. I was prepared (along with my brother!) for Confirmation as an adult, and God’s grace pummeled me the day I was Confirmed. God had never left me, and His graces washed over me like nothing I’d ever experienced before that day. Holy tears are REAL!!!

We celebrate Adult Confirmation twice a year at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit, once on the Feast of Pentecost and once on the Feast of Christ the King. If you think God is calling you to learn more about receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation, please contact me  via the form on our staff page or by phone at 248.693.0440 ext. 203. Let’s celebrate together!

In Christ,
