Our deanery Confirmation preparation course is designed to engage candidates at this important stage of their spiritual life. Together, we will explore the Sacrament of Confirmation, deepen our understanding of the Catholic faith, and support each young person as they prepare to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
What the course involves
Throughout the course, we will discuss and learn about the Sacrament of Confirmation, why it is celebrated, why it matters, and how it completes the grace first given at Baptism. We will look at the gifts of the Holy Spirit and how the Spirit helps us in our lives as Catholics, examine the lives of the Saints, and choose a Confirmation name with meaning and purpose.
Candidates will be given a space to reflect on their faith and ask questions, helping them build confidence in prayer and find their place in the life of the parish.
Who it’s for
These sessions are for those preparing to be Confirmed in our parish this year. The course is a journey, and we will walk with you as you learn, grow, and prepare to renew your baptismal promises and be strengthened for Christian life.
