The Church Lights the Spark, your family lights the fire
Confirmation Prep 2022-2023We all want our kids to be great Catholics, knowing that one day God will say to them at the end of their lives
"Welcome home!"
The reality however is that none of us can do it alone! The Catechsim tells us that when it comes to our Faith "The role of our parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to provide an adequate substitute. (2221)
This is why we use the Chosen program for Confirmation prep. The program provides all the support parents and sponsors need to take the spark of the Holy Spirit we placed in the teens, and turn it into a raging fire of God's love for your teen, and your family.
