Who the Heck is the Holy Spirit? Most people have an idea about God the Father and God the Son, but not much of one when it comes to their more elusive partner in crime, the third person of the Holy Trinity: the Holy Spirit.
The Fire of the Holy Spirit: A craft to support a lesson on Confirmation
Filled with the Holy Spirit, we confirm our yes to God — to live out the promises made at our Baptism. This flame, representing the Holy Spirit, could be made with students preparing for Confirmation, but it could easily be adapted for younger students who are being introduced to the Sacraments. |
Biggest and Best List of Confirmation Saints (for Guys and Girls) The following list is for you to use as a starting point in your journey to decide whom your “Confirmation saint-buddy” will be. Pick a saint who speaks to you somehow. Know their story. But, mostly know the power of their prayer. Ask for their intercession like you would ask for the prayers of your friends. Saying “yes” to a Confirmation saint is like saying “yes, you may always pray for my poor and weary soul.”

Confirmation Learning Stations Here’s an example of a Confirmation lesson where learning stations are used. Areas are set up where the young people complete a task under the supervision of a catechist (as opposed to areas where the catechist presents a mini-lesson).
Post-Confirmation Reflection A guided reflection to use after Confirmation to get those newly confirmed to reflect on the Holy Spirit. It can be helpful to take some time, post-confirmation, to reflect on the actions of the Rite
The History and Development of the Sacrament of Confirmation The Spirit is present in the Church, moving and breathing where he wills, but allowing historical events and cultures to shape our practice and understanding of the faith.

USCCB-Confirmation Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service. United States Catholic Catechism for Adults
