Confirmation makes us whole
Recieving Confirmation means you are now "whole" having received the "fullness of the Holy Spirit" and should be ready to carry our your life's mission with the help and direction of the Holy Spirit by your side. Father, Son and Spirit are fully at work in your life.
Through Baptism we are made members of the “Body of Christ”, sealed and sent forth to reveal Christ to others. Those who receive Comfirmation are more perfectly bound to the Church, and the Holy Spirit endows them with special strength so that they are more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith, both by word and by deed, as true witnesses of Christ (Lumen Gentium 11).
Prince of Peace Catholic Parish follows the Archdioceses of Detroit guide lines for sacramental preparation in requiring two (2) years of faith formation prior to a student receiving the sacrament of Confirmaton. This requirement is not to deter the process but to ensure the student has a concrete grasp and knowledge of the Sacrament they will be receiving.
