“Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit – his actions, his gifts, and his biddings – in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. 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. The latter bears special responsibility for the preparation of confirmands.” (CCC #1309)
The Goal of Our Lady of Fatima’s Confirmation Preparation Program is to form disciples by leading teens to:
•
Encounter God and develop a personal relationship with God and His Church
•Experience the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
•Enrich a deeper understanding of their Catholic faith.
•Develop their gifts and talents to spread the Good News.
