Confirmation Preparation

Thank you for being a part of Pflaum’s Confirmed in the Joy of the Spirit or Gifted With The Spirit Junior High Confirmation Programs at-home for RFY this year! Our hope is that this will provide some additional background for Confirmation preparation here at Saint Maximilian Kolbe Church. This WILL NOT replace the Confirmation preparation program.

Weekly lessons can be found below.

Getting Started

Please submit each week’s materials either directly via email to rburbrink@saint-max.org OR submit paper version to the SACRAMENT “MAILBOX” which can be found on top of the mailboxes in the breezeway. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR YOUTH’S NAME ON ALL PAGES OF EMAIL/PAPER DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED.

Weekly lessons will be released each Sunday and will include a Gospel reading and reflection.
In addition to the Gospel, if your youth is completing the Confirmed in the Joy of the Spirit program there will be readings and reflections assigned from the book Confirmed in the Joy of the Spirit and also activities reviewing/reflecting on the foundations of our Catholic faith.
In addition to the Gospel, if your youth is completing the Gifted With The Spirit program, they will be completing a part of the materials in the provided materials. Each "Gifted With the Spirit" lesson is used for three weeks.
Please hold on to ALL materials for the year, just tucking them back into the bag you received at the beginning. If you are turning in hard copies of the materials, please let me know if you would like me to return them at the end of the year.
Gospel (readings included with the lesson) are always required. There are three possible ways to "reflect" on the Gospel (only one is required)
1. 1. IF YOU HAVE OTHER CHILDREN DOING FUEL WITH PFLAUM , please feel free to continue to reflect as a family and submit your reflection through JOT FORM. Please just indicate that is what you have done.
  2. A 3 -5 sentence summary of the Gospel may be submitted.
  3. Questions provided with the Gospel may be answered.
