Road to Confirmation – Checkpoint Conversation guides
The decision to make the Confirmation vow and to receive the Confirmation blessing is a very important milestone in a youth’s journey of faith. The Road to Confirmation process is to ensure a youth is well-equipped and prepared to make their Confirmation vow.
The purposes of the checkpoint conversations are to:
- Ensure the students have an understanding of the material
- Allow a space for the student to ask any questions
- Clarify and correct any misunderstandings that the students may have
- Support the students during their ongoing spiritual development
- Strengthen relationships
These guides are not intended to be a script, but rather have been prepared to help the parent(s)/guardian(s), youth leader, and rector each have a meaningful conversation with their student and to check in with them as they pursue Confirmation. Using the content within these guides, prayerfully allow the Holy Spirit to work with you to shape and direct your specific checkpoint conversation.
