WHAT IS CONFIRMATION?

“Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the ‘sacraments of Christian initiation…’ [T]he reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace…[B]y the sacrament of Confirmation [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit.  Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1285)

Here at the Community of St. Mary and St. Ann, Confirmation is a two year process that can happen anytime in high school. If you are a high school student who would like to prepare for Confirmation or if you are an adult who, for whatever reason, missed the Sacrament, call the parish office at 517-543-4319.
