Welcome! We, the Confirmation team, are looking forward to sharing this journey of faith with you as you prepare to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. We are very excited that you have chosen to receive this Sacrament and pray that this year will be a time of great spiritual growth.
As you will see, Confirmation preparation involves learning, sharing, serving, fellowship, spiritual growth, and some fun, too. During this journey, you will be given the opportunity to learn more about your Catholic faith and what it means to be a disciple of Jesus the Christ.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1309:
Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit . . . 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.
Our goal is to be true to this statement of preparation for Confirmation, so that by the end of this process all youth have a good understanding of who God is and how the Catholic Church helps us to know, love, and serve God. It is our hope that by the end of the Confirmation program you will:
Receiving the sacrament of Confirmation is far from the end of your spiritual growth. It is a step along the path as you continue your life long process of becoming like Christ! The Confirmation Team is here for you if you need anything! God bless you in this coming process.
Prayerfully,
Your Confirmation Team
