Our vision for youth receiving the sacrament of Confirmation is that they should all have a sense of belonging to the parish community as well as the universal Church.Confirmation for youth completes the initiation begun through Baptism, but it is only the beginning of the journey of faith. Different pathways must converge to a shared journey in, through and with the parish community. We are never finished growing in faith, and Confirmation provides increased grace to sustain the journey. The young Church deserves the best we can offer: preparation for Confirmation is preparation for real life, i.e. an invitation to encounter and mirror Jesus Christ, animated by the Holy Spirit.
