Teen Confirmation Registration is now open!!

 

REGISTRATION FOR THE 2020-2021 CONFIRMATION PROGRAM IS NOW OPEN

Weighing out the health risks and concerns of the St. Philip Benizi families, we will be offering three Confirmation options that will include adaptations to help meet the individual needs of our families.

1.        Virtual learning
2.        Home Family Study
3.        Take home packets

Curriculum: Purpose Confirmation

The Purpose curriculum is 24 sessions with a heavy focus on evangelizing young people and accompanying them as they become disciples. The curriculum addresses three big questions, "Why believe in God?", "Why trust Jesus?" and "Why be a part of the Church?" These questions are supplemented with the Foundations book series, which allow teens to dive more deeply into each.

·         C1: lessons 1-12

·         C2: lessons 13-24

Platforms:

1. Virtual learning: Zoom, YouTube, google hangouts
2. Home Studies: Google classroom-which will include family lessons that with a digital worksheet that will need to be turned in weekly (will need a personal Gmail account-we can help set up new accounts)
3. Independent Studies: Printed lesson plan that will include an activity, worksheet (must be turned in and picked up weekly)

Candidates will be assigned to a Confirmation core team made of 3 people: 1 catechist, 1: catechist assistant and 1: post confirmation teen, young adult, or adult. Classrooms will not be larger than 15 students.
