DETROIT — On Sunday, Nov. 23, Detroit Auxiliary Bishop Jeffrey M. Monforton celebrated the sacrament of confirmation of adults at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit.
The celebration of confirmations — one of the three sacraments of initiation, along with baptism and first Communion — is celebrated each year on the Solemnity of Christ the King, the final Sunday of the Church's liturgical year, for adults who have already received the sacrament of baptism or are entering into full communion with the Catholic Church.
The Solemnity of Christ the King celebrates the Lord's kingship over all the universe, and his final victory over sin and death. Next Sunday, Nov. 30, is the first Sunday of Advent and the dawn of a new liturgical year.
