To make the experience of the process of preparation for Confirmation more enjoyable, fruitful, and memorable for young people, this handbook includes summaries and insights, journal-writing exercises, resources for personal and group prayer, Catholic Connections, Heart Links--poems, readings, and short stories--and much more!

All theological content presented in Confirmed in a Faithful Community resources is drawn from the Candidate's Handbook (© 2006), which the Ad Hoc Committee to Oversee the Use of the Catechism, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has found to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Additional references from the sacred Scriptures and highlights from the Catechism help to underscore significant aspects of the teaching.
