“The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
A spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord”

Confirmation Prep Sessions
Spring 2021
quote-left
...the effect of the sacrament of Confirmation is the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit
as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost.
- Catechism of the Catholic Church # 1302 -
Confirmation perfects the grace of baptism within us, and helps to strengthens our communion with Jesus Christ, and his Church, in order for us to live out more fully the Mission and Life God desires for us in love of God and neighbor,
and in being an active witness in the world.
This year, we are meeting in person on the 3rd Floor on the specific Sundays scheduled below.

Topic: God Is...
Brief Summary: Is this a question? Is it looking for a descriptor or attribute? Is it a statement? Do you believe it?
Our Catholic Faith depends upon us believing and seeing reality as God has created it, interacted in it throughout history, and revealed Himself in it, in and through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit, and how this same Holy Spirit continues to do so in and through His Church. All of this is so that we can be fully united in Love with God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!

Topic: What Happend?
Brief Summary: Why do we need a savior? How did everything go so wrong from God's original plan? What are we to do about it now?
Sin is real. Death is real. Jesus being born in the flesh, that is the Word of God made flesh, in time and space and in human history is real! What is our response to such a thing? Do we care about it? Does it make a difference in our lives?
