Sacrament of Confirmation

Confirmation Preparation

To begin the process, contact Sarah Hogan, Director of Religious Education, at (248)647-6068 or shogan@olqm-parish.org.

The sacrament of confirmation completes the sacrament of baptism. In confirmation, the gifts imparted at Baptism comes alive with the fire of the Holy Spirit. The Confirmation preparation process is meant to help the youth discover their faith story and help them continue to grow in their own faith journey.

To this end catechesis for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church, as well as the parish community.


This confirmation in the power of the Holy Spirit leading to a firm profession of faith has always been the particular effect which Catholic tradition has ascribed to the sacrament. It is effect which complements and completes that of baptism.





THE CHURCH TEACHES:
Confirmation is a true sacrament instituted by Christ and different from baptism. It is administered by laying-on of hands and anointing with chrism accompanied by prayer. The chrism is blessed by the bishop and the bishop administers the sacrament. All baptized persons can and should be confirmed. The effect of the sacrament of confirmation is to give strength in faith and for the confession of faith and to impress an indelible character.
