Confirmation Preparation 2008-09

One of the goals of the Confirmation Team is to review the Confirmation Preparation process and to evaluate the effectiveness of the catechesis and the relevancy of the Confirmation Preparation process for the families at St. Susanna.  To this, the Confirmation Preparation process for next year that would have typically begun in the fall of 2008 will be revised as follows.  (However, this will not affect the students currently preparing to be Confirmed in October or November 2008.)

 

Revised to better serve today’s young Catholics!

Confirmation team

Lent is often a time when Catholics reflect on their faith and discern that the time for more active involvement in their faith community is now! If that is you, please consider serving on our Confirmation team. We are looking for a couple of interested, people who love to work with young people and can think outside the box.

While Sacraments within our Church cannot be earned as they are gifts from God, those seeking these Sacraments can demonstrate their earnestness in their desire for these sacraments by their actions. The following are ways that the candidates should be compelled to do to show the strength of their commitment.
      

 Next Large Group Meeting Minimize
Confirmation Prep 07-08

Our next large group meeting for Confirmation will be Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 7 pm at the Meyer Center.  We'll be studying "Service" as Christ's directive.  All candidates and mentors are expected to attend.

Sometime during the month of January, each mentor group should be planning to gather to discuss the topic of "Service."

The Personal Interview or Written or Art Response to questions is due this in January - Students are asked to take time to really reflect on their decision for Confirmation. The students have two options for responses to a series of questions available on page 55 in the lavender handbook.

First, students can schedule through the parish office (398-3821)a 15 minute in-person interview alone with a member of the Confirmation team.

The times for these interview are Monday, Jan. 14 3:30-6:30 pm or Sunday, Jan. 13 9:00 am-1:00 pm or Tuesday, Jan 22 7:00-9:00 pm or Saturday, Jan 26 1:00-4:00 pm.

The second alternative involves the students provide written or art responses to these questions by January 30, 2008. Any written responses MUST be emailed to confirmation@stsusanna.org. Art responses can be dropped off at the parish office.

Philosophy of Confirmation
Preparation at St. Susanna

The goal of St. Susanna's Confirmation Preparation Program is to help every candidate enhance and deepen their faith through an experiential learning process with a mentor. Over a reflection period, the candidate will have the opportunity to discern what gifts he/she can bring to the adult Christian community. An emphasis is placed on regular monthly meetings with mentors as well a series of gathered communal sessions for advanced religious education. It is our belief that the preparation of Confirmation is fully situated in a comprehensive Youth Ministry which includes social events, service outreach, and spiritual growth through prayer and retreats.
