About this title

Synopsis

The "Confirmed in a Faithful Community" series provides direction and resources for preparing senior high school young people for the sacrament of confirmation. It is adaptable for either a one- or two-year process of preparation, and is designed for use with any level of senior high youth. The catechumenal process reflected in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) serves as both the inspiration and the theological and pastoral foundation of "Confirmed in a Faithful Community". The principles of the RCIA are reflected throughout the process of preparation. The catechetical dimension of the process (that is, the educational sessions as distinct from the programme's liturgies, retreats and other elements) consists of 22 90-minute sessions. Parishes can choose from the sessions to create a process suited to their particular needs. The tone and methodology of the catechetical sessions are highly evangelizing. The sessions do not presume a prior faith commitment on the part of the candidates, but the programme presents the central and defining characteristics of Catholicism. This catechist's guide gives detailed session plans for all periods in the confirmation process.
