The links below provide basic background information to teach four sessions that cover the minimum of what students should know to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. This information is covered in most Confirmation curriculums, but we are providing this for any parents helping to prepare their students at home and for catechists to prepare their teaching materials for the year to ensure these catechetical topics are covered.
Ideally, the preparation for Confirmation would take place in the context of a religious education or youth ministry program. (Religious education classes never take the place of Mass, Confession, and prayer which are all a crucial part of preparation to receive the Sacrament.)
