We are a community that will learn, grow, and celebrate together as we prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. We will come together in three different communities: a large, whole group; a small table group with a designated adult leader; and a small 'spiritual' group.
Topics Covered:

On paper, draw a person; add all the traits that are the traits of a disciple.

Well Built Faith and the Four Pillars
Whenever we want to develop a relationship with someone, we seek to get to know and understand them better. What types of relationships do we experience in our life? What makes those relationships successful?

Creed - what we believe about God
Sacraments - how we express our love for God and vice versa
There are also some requirements that go along with preparing for Confirmation. Take a look at this checklist and mark the items the following codes to express your feelings:
