Confirmation
Confirmation is a sacrament in the Catholic Church, typically received by individuals who have reached a certain age of maturity, often during their teenage years. It is considered one of the three sacraments of initiation, along with Baptism and Eucharist.
Confirmation is seen as the completion of the grace received in Baptism. During Confirmation, individuals are sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, strengthening their bond with the Church and empowering them to live out their faith more fully.
The process of preparation for Confirmation varies but often involves catechesis (religious instruction), prayer, reflection, and participation in the life of the Church community. It is a significant step in a spiritual journey, marking commitment to faith and a willingness to be active members of the Church.
Journeying Together
Sacrament preparation for families booklet
https://sacraments.melbournecatholic.org/
Journeying Together covers the sacraments most commonly celebrated with primary-school-aged children - Reconciliation (Penance), Eucharist, and Confirmation. This resource will complement your child’s sacrament preparation at their Catholic primary school or in a parish catechetical setting.
Each sacrament module includes four sessions. Each session includes an invitation to explore and integrate the family’s lived experience with concepts from Scripture, the Church and the sacraments, along with opportunities to pray together.
We hope that by opening this opportunity, many will encounter Jesus and engage with their faith in a fresh and meaningful way.
