A hybrid approach to confirmation preparation
Called to Mercy’s approach to confirmation preparation draws young people into the Holy Spirit. This Catholic confirmation curriculum prepares young people for a vibrant future of faith by thoughtfully combining deep theological exploration with the cultivation of meaningful relationships and strong community connections. This program effectively bridges the gap between faith and everyday life for young people.
What is learned within the Catholic confirmation online modules comes alive in dynamic in-person gatherings. These flexible digital modules introduce core theological concepts, laying a strong foundation while preparing for confirmation. The Gathered Sessions build upon this knowledge through engaging learning experiences that are not only fun and meaningful but also foster strong connections among the candidates.
These interactive sessions encourage young people to integrate their learning into their daily lives, creating a lived faith experience as they progress through their preparation. The result is an environment where every young person feels a sense of belonging and is honored for their unique place on their individual faith journey.
The Leader Guide provides detailed directions for these ten engaging gathered sessions, including a dedicated day of service, a transformative full-day retreat experience, and a meaningful post-Confirmation session focused on reflection and celebration, all integral to a successful confirmation preparation process.
Each section of our confirmation preparation program is thoughtfully structured with two integral parts: the engaging Catholic confirmation online module and the enriching gathered session. Within each online module, teenagers explore the Sacrament of Confirmation itself, understand the profound impact their faith can have on the world around them, and discover practical ways to live out their personal mission of mercy, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
After self-paced online modules, youth and leaders meet for deeper exploration. Rich theological concepts are presented in an accessible and engaging manner for teens, drawing them into a deeper understanding through learning experiences that are both fun and meaningful.

On a mission of mercy
Service to others is a key part of this program and isn’t limited to just a one-day required experience.
