2 Pentecost, 33 A.D.

3 Dear Parents and Confirmation Candidates, More than two thousand years ago, the first Confirmation class met in a small crowded upper room in Jerusalem. And when the day of Pentecost had come there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4) And now your child s own journey toward Confirmation begins! The Sacrament of Confirmation is a wonderful gift that completes the work of grace God started in your child at their Baptism. Through the Sacrament of Confirmation, your son or daughter will be more perfectly united to the Church and Jesus Christ and given a special strengthening of the Holy Spirit, just like the Apostles and Mary at Pentecost, empowering them to better spread and defend the Gospel through their words and deeds. This strengthening of the Holy Spirit is necessary for us as Christians to live life to the full as Jesus wants for us. (John 10:10) This period of preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is important for you and your child. One of the biggest complaints I hear from youth ministers, Priests, and parents, is that after Confirmation teens seem to drift away from the Church. It doesn t have to be this way. The more reverence, respect, and preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation we model as parents, the more our children will learn the power and importance of this Sacrament and our Catholic Faith. If you are interested in understanding Confirmation better and explaining it to your child, checkout the Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraphs Please carefully read and review this packet. The complete list of requirements and due dates can be found on the Candidate checklist form. Please review them completely and mark your calendars so everything can be turned in on time. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to talk. Checkout for updates! We will be praying for you and walking with you on this journey! +JMJ Edmund Mitchell Director of Evangelization and Catechesis St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church Grapevine, Texas

11 Confirmation Interview During our last Confirmation class each candidate will be given a final interview to assess their readiness to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. These are some of the questions, but Catechists reserve the right to ask other questions from material covered throughout the year. What Young Church session impacted your spiritual life the most and why? Why do you want to be Catholic? What is the difference between a mortal and venial sin? What are the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit? What does the Sacrament of Confirmation mean to you? What do you hope it will do in your life? How have you prepared spiritually to receive it? What is discipleship? What service events have you done in preparation for Confirmation? What did you learn from them?

12

13 Confirmation Letter of Intent 1-page single spaced turned into Confirmation teacher by the date of your final interview. To be eligible for confirmation, a candidate must be baptized and attend confirmation preparation. One of the steps to prepare for confirmation is requesting the sacrament. In most churches, candidates write a letter to their priest to formally request the sacrament of confirmation. Use these tips below to write a letter requesting the sacrament of confirmation. (These are just suggestions, not a required format.) Tips on writing your letter to your priest, asking for the sacrament of confirmation: 1. Address your letter to Father Flynn. 2. Format the letter using a formal letter writing style. Include a greeting, body of the letter, and signature. Type your letter using a word processing software program. Do not hand write it, except for the signature at the conclusion of the letter. 3. Address the priest in the greeting. Begin your letter with "Dear," followed by the name of the priest. Use the title of "Father" when addressing the priest. If your priest's name is Michael Jones, the letter should begin, "Dear Father Jones. 4. Introduce yourself in the first paragraph. Tell the priest your name, gender, age, year in school and what school you attend. Include some information about your background, family, activities and interests. This paragraph shouldn't be a long biography, but a brief description of who you are. 5. Request the sacrament of Confirmation in the second paragraph. Tell the priest why you want to be confirmed in the Catholic Church. Explain what Confirmation means to you and why it is important that you receive the sacrament. The second paragraph should provide specific information about why you want to be confirmed.

14 6 Explain your spiritual preparation for Confirmation in the third paragraph. Note any formal preparations within the church setting, such as Confirmation or catechism classes. Address how you are preparing for Confirmation through prayer. Indicate how often you are attending Mass, and how the worship services are helping you to prepare for Confirmation. Explain how any service events deepened your spiritual life so far. Take time to honestly evaluate your spiritual life and note areas where you are strong in your faith, as well as areas needing improvement. Tell your priest why you feel you are ready to accept the sacrament of confirmation. Explain why you are ready for Confirmation. 7 Apply Confirmation to your future in the fourth paragraph. Explain how you plan to stay connected to God throughout your life. Evaluate the role the Holy Spirit will play in your spiritual growth. Tell how you will continue to serve others and God in your life. Tell your priest how you plan to live out your Confirmation promises in the future. 8 Thank your priest in the fifth paragraph. Thank your priest for his role in preparing you for confirmation. Tell him that you appreciate his spiritual leadership and teachings. If you have a personal relationship with your priest, note a specific attribute or quality that he shares for which you are thankful. 9 Conclude the letter. Use the words "Sincerely" or "Best Regards" before your signature line. Be sure to sign the letter with your complete name using a blue or black ink pen. Please complete and return by the date of your final interview, 2018

15 Choosing a Sponsor Confirmation Candidate s Name: A sponsor is a witness of the commitment to Christ that you are making. The sponsor can be a Godparent or any other Catholic adult, but not a parent, such as a mother or father. The sponsor presents you at your Confirmation and is with you throughout your Confirmation journey. Requirements of the Sponsor: Sponsor must be sufficiently mature for the role and be at least 16 years of age Sponsor must be a practicing member of the Catholic Church and initiated in the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. Sponsor DOES NOT need to be the same gender as the candidate. Godparents may be sponsors at Confirmation Parents of candidates may not be sponsors, but may stand in proxy in the absence of the sponsor. If sponsor is not a parishioner of St. Francis, they must submit a letter from their parish pastor indicating they are a registered member in good standing. It is best to choose a Sponsor with whom you can communicate. Look for someone who can walk this journey with you and help answer questions and guide you in this process. Choose someone you respect and admire. Don t be afraid to ask someone in the Church whom you respect as a faithful and devout Catholic. Most people are extremely honored and flattered to be asked to be a Confirmation Sponsor. Your Sponsor s Name: Home Parish: St. Francis of Assisi OR Other: Why have you asked this person to be your Confirmation Sponsor? All Paperwork/Payment is Due Dec. 2, 2018 in one folder with Candidates name on it.

16

17 Choosing a Confirmation Name Confirmation Candidate s Legal Name: There is a great tradition in Salvation History of God changing someone s name to represent a new role or direction or purpose for the individual s life. Abraham (Abram), Peter (Simon), and Paul (Saul), are all examples of people God set apart and destined for a great plan. Your Confirmation name should reflect your new role as a mature Christian in the Catholic Church. Select the name of a Saint who you admire or would like to imitate. After you decide on a name, use the space below to explain your choice. For example, if your name were Dominic Robert Mitchell, and you picked St. Michael as your Confirmation name, your Confirmation name would be Dominic Robert Michael Mitchell. Confirmation Name: Why you chose this Saint s name for your Confirmation name: All Paperwork/Payment is Due Dec. 2, 2018 in one folder with Candidates name on it.
