Child & Parent Confirmation Retreat

Just as Baptism makes us children of God so Confirmation makes us missionaries for Christ Jesus. In the Sacrament of Confirmation the Holy Spirit comes to the baptized in a new and more intimate way. This new gift of the Spirit is ordered toward mission and evangelization, that is, the proclamation of the Good News of salvation. When someone receives Confirmation, then, the Holy Spirit will continue to work in that person in order to lead him or her to confidently proclaim Jesus' Name and to share the Gospel with others. The goal of this retreat is to help young people and their parents to grow in their familiarity with the Holy Spirit and His gifts as well as to prepare them to receive the evangelical mission toward which He leads them.
