Contains everything necessary to begin the program and conduct each session. The introductory section provides the program coordinator with a background of initiation theology and confirmation catechesis, and practical tips for training adult volunteers, implementing the candidate-mentor program, and doing advance planning for the entire program schedule. Two plans for Orientation Meetings -- one for parents and teenagers and one for adult mentors -- allow for easy introduction into the program. Twelve working sessions on the themes of the Catholic Christian faith are presented. An After Confirmation session provides a bridge between sacrament preparation and assimilation into full community participation. Plans for conducting liturgical rites are also included. A 16-page tear-out section contains all the material to be duplicated for use during the sessions.
